And where did the $134 million come from? Gas Taxes? Whose paying cost and upkeep, private car and trucks...?
Folks in an outlying county (Clackamas) who have to pay for the light-rail transit that will use the bridge went to court to stop it and for good measure recalled the commissioners who voted to approve the project. Though the commissioners were booted, the courts refused to stop the project which will be completed next year.
In a similar move, the transit district wanted to extend the service across a new bridge over the Columbia River to Vancouver, Washington. The light-rail service was to be shared on the bridge with I-5 highway traffic. The residents on the WA side of the river also revolted and so far the sharing scheme has been stopped.
thinking the same thing.. So, when there’s no money to repair the roads vehicles use, will the gasoline tax be increased?
