Does it really matter what kind of bridge we have? Both of the designs are like 95% similiar. And it's just going to over budget by 30% in end anyway...

As long as it's at least 12 lanes wide so I can get my SUV acrossed it along side the US Mail truck, Safeway, UPS, FedX and the Merc can get delivered to this side of town before it's out of date.

Tony, uhmm, fail. Wrong bridge. There will be exactly 0 lanes for cars on this bridge: it is for MAX, streetcars, buses, bikes, and pedestrians.

Let's forget the bridge altogether.....
Let's give Fred Hansen, Sam Adams, and Ted Kulunugowski a raise instead.

Oh, that’s right Adams and his miss wired friends do not in any way, shape, form encourage commerce. That may create real jobs that would cause people to purchase a car. I see.



So recall Sam Adams.

Tony, uhmm, fail, AGAIN. The train goes to PSU, which is responsible for far more jobs around here than the car dealers.

Nah, lets just but a few more 2000 dollar trash cans, and then CAN HUNTING FOR EVERYONE. Jobs and economic development for all, I say

Breaking news: Libby finally figures out nobody cares.

TriMet chose one "acclaimed" bridge designer http://www.donaldmacdonaldarchitects.com/o… another "acclaimed" bridge designer http://rgabridges.com/. End of non-story.

So PSU creates jobs. What have they been doing lately?

The only person who has lied to the people of Portland is Brian Libby. He got all of you thinking the Memorial Coliseum was "saved" when in reality all he did was hand it to the Blazers to make it into some awful entertainment complex monstrosity.

Since when have we let a bunch of architects with no grounding in economic reality run anything?

I'm still waiting on the Libby plan to save the Memorial Coliseum. You know, the plan with actual numbers attached and financing that doesn't continue to cost the taxpayers an arm and a leg?

Where is the Mercury in asking that question?

There is reasons why there are project managers to tell architects NO on every project in history. Architects don't operate in reality (like the MC is a gorgeous building).

Please wait...
