How does it compare to the current footprint?

And I guess I don't understand the width/length of the larger square. Where do they get 1,750 feet?

Wait, which "island's grocery store?" Are they talking about the Safeway at Jantzen Beach? If so, why just the Safeway? Are the other stores going to be bulldozed?

I'm lost.

Sarah - Nevermind. Reading is fundamental.

So they are talking about bulldozing that Safeway and all the surrounding businesses.

That's ridiculous. Do they have any idea how many people Jantzen Beach employs/serves?

I thought the CRC was supposed to promote jobs, not take them away.

Goodness. Fire Kulongoski and Gregoire.

IS HOOTERS SAFE??

I've always said that Ladd's Addition needs a big fucking bridge. Glad they're finally getting around to it. Now I'll no longer get lost in that vortex of a neighborhood.

What's this I hear about a new Hooters in Ladd's Addition?!?

Maybe with enough time someone will finally design a levitating bridge.

Hayden Island will be losing over 35 businesses, Safeway, McDonalds, Denny's, BJ's Grill, Office Depot, Verizon, Boomers Grill, Vitamin Shoppe, Joe's Eatery, Hooters and a strip mall of small business owners to name a few. This bridge will only promote more sprawl on the Washington side and bring more people to Portland to shop and work. And the traffic problem is not going to be....TA-DA..."FIXED". The bridge traffic moves, it starts backing up from the Columbia exit going south. Just ask the people who live along the river and watch the I-5 bridge traffic every morning. The governors probably have some deals going with big construction companies to get this on board, ya think?
