Cutting traffic on what's left of the Sellwood bridge is an important point, I feel that getting in the mind set to build each neighborhood their own little bridge is the wrong idea. How many of those people are drivng for the sole reason that the few bus lines in their area are delayed or over filled? Too many people are set on the idea that they deserve a car and the conner market is a good enough reason to buy an H3, or some other waste of steel. The Sellwood Bridge should be replaced! it has undergone Years of band-aid's and quick fixes. it now has a fedral safety rating of 2 out of 100. i think Huck finn's raft would score around a 15.
I support a second bridge for foot traffic and light rail... Car traffic would stop the max in it's tracks for hours at a time.. not to mention all the people who would try and merge onto the bridge and not stop to think that 55 Tons will not stop just to let them in. The new traffic span should be turned into a toll road. just another way to help cover the costs and show people how much their roads cost everyone. if they want to not pay the toll they can use one of the other bridges and deal with the traffic they have caused.
