How much tourist revenue
How much tourist revenue does the Fremont Bridge bring to Portland?
How much tourist revenue does the St. Johns Bridge bring to Portland?
How much tourist revenue does any of the U.S. 101 Bridges, all designed by a famed bridge architect, bring to coastal communities?
How much tourist revenue does the Bridge of the Gods bring to Cascade Locks?
Portland is not San Francisco. Stop trying to turn Portland into San Francisco. So what if the bridge looks like the Glenn Jackson Bridge?
Anyone that wants an "iconic" bridge is welcome to fundraise for it. Does anyone remember that bumper sticker that reads "wouldn't it be nice if schools had all the money in the world, and the Air Force had to hold a bake sale to buy a B-2?"
Wouldn't it be nice if all of our transportation needs were met - instead of special interests hijacking the process to favor politically motivated projects over the needs of the common Portland resident?
Oh, wait, this is Commissioner Sam's website. He already is on record as being opposed to providing public transit to two-thirds of Portland's residents who use public transit, because God forbid it's a bus.
