One related subject worthy of further exploration is the oft-discussed removal of I-5 from the east bank (and changing 205 to 5 and what is now 5 and 405 to something else). This would do the polar opposite for the central city that a mega-CRC would do: open up the east side of the river up to people and make the Willamette the "central boulevard" of the city, as it should be. Portland will never reach its potential without this being accomplished.
