re: BLOG: Freight Master Plan: It's About Time!
Oh, so we can't move freight on transit.
So why are most of the transportation dollars spent on those projects?
You want examples?
500 Million for Interstate MAX but not enough money to widen I-5 to 8 lanes.
1.?? Billon for Westside MAX but 60 Million every 2 years to widen 26 to 6 lanes.
300+ for "commuter rail" to be built within 5 years but 80 years to widen 217.
I wonder how much the new Clacakamas county rail will cost? I wonder what road projects will be put off to fund them?
