My favorite tweet from this account is about the river bottom liquefying in the event of an earthquake to a depth of 75 feet causing -- wait for it -- "damage to the bridges."

A couple years ago there was a WashDOT employee that was trolling PortlandTransport citing similar talking points.

Any earthquake that takes out the I-5 bridge is guaranteed to take out the rail bridge since it is in worse shape, which one do you think screws our economy more... Lets see cars can still use the 205 bridge if they have to, do we have another rail bridge? Oh yeah right we don't... Let's fix that one first.

The next Cascadia earthquake will almost certainly disable/destroy those bridges along with most of the older spans. That said, making a more sustainable city that does not rely on everything coming from may hundreds of miles away would put us on a much better footing than most urban areas.

Besides, I am not against a CRC, just any of the proposals for it I have seen. How many American Cities clearly illustrate what happens when you add freeway capacity . . . nearly all of them. Amazing that we even have to have this debate . . . except for the Vancouver Effect.

I wonder if the twitterer is connected to a new "store" on N Lombard that is full of "3rd Bridge Now!" signs in the window and promises to be "opening soon." lots of weird proclamations that sound consistent with these tweets. whoever it is took over the vacant building that used to be a secondhand clothing store on the corner of Lombard and, I think, just north of Fiske.
