If the state of Oregon and the city of Portland would eliminate the traffic blocks in I-5 (I know they are widening I-5 where it crosses over Columbia blvd) the onle bottleneck left would be on the north bound side at Jantzen Beach. Perhaps then we would not need as wide a bridge. As far as light rail is concerned, by reading various blogs, it would appear that the majority of people in Clark county are vehemently opposed to bringing light rail into Vancouver. At least to Clark College, which I admit, doesn't make much sense to me either. If light rail must come to Vancouver, it should go to the downtown area and out to the fairgrouns to offer more service to the Portland environs. We have a mayoral election coming up, and maybe Pollard and his cronies will be voted out of office, I hope.
