How much shorter will it be, for people who are coming from Vancouver or going north to Vancouver? Is there any sense of what that might look like, rather than just saying that congestion might be addressed? We can solve some issues. And we think the smart way to bring some consistency of travel through this corridor is by having some auxiliary lanes that take those merge weave movements out of the through traffic so that traffic can move unimpeded going forward.
Those are things also that will help to address congestion through this corridor. But we can make it operate better with some smart investments.
Legislators expressed a strong desire to receive more information. C-TRAN recently announced it was cutting cross-river express bus service roughly in half, due to reduced demand. Oregon Transportation Commissioner Robert Van Brocklin recently said only 4 percent of people in Portland use transit. Washington Sen.

They believe a repurposed Interstate Bridge would still require bridge lifts for marine traffic. It was estimated adding a lift span to the center of the downstream BNSF rail bridge would eliminate 95 percent of required I-5 bridge lifts. The BNSF rail bridge is old and seismically vulnerable , they say, but that is not in their current purview to fix.
Many citizens know the rail firm has already installed a similar lift span on the same rail line, where it crosses the Willamette River about 4 miles to the west.
