Of course I have heard of "Delta Park" and "The Rose Garden". They are just symptoms of a complete corridor that under serves the population. (Ever notice how the traffic almost always thins out NB once you reach the WA side?..yes some traffic veers off to WA-14, but the freeway becomes wider with more general purpose lanes quickly after the border).

or... run MAX access over I-205 (more reasonable and probably FASTER to Downtown Portland (from Vancouver))




Won't happen, not that we want it to anyways. There's a reason why light rail keeps getting voted down on my side of the river. Don't need it, don't want it, no matter how blue in the faces bureaucrats and certain newspapers will get trying to convince you otherwise. We the People (taxpayers) have spoken. C-Tran can barely manage the bus service they have already and make it believable.

Anyhow, I'm told that the centre part of the bridge (where the bike track is now) was initially meant to be used for a northbound extension of the ill fated I-205 busway, the northernmost terminus would have been where the little strip mall by Elmer's and Burger King at Chkalov & Mill Plain is today. This is supposedly also why the section of bike track that overpasses Airport Way is so wide. ([url]http://mapper.acme.com/?ll=45.57045,-122.54832&z=19&t=H[/url])

Well, most of the busway in Potland eventually did materialize in the form of the green line.

This is a terrific project if you love on the West Side. Fir the rest of us who live on the Eastside, we will never go there.

Why would "we" never go there? I live in Camas, and I parked right next to it just yesterday for the farmer's market.

It’s on Weds. Not practical if you work normal hours. The same farmer booths are at the much larger Vancouver Farmers Market on Saturday’s. In fact they say it is the largest farmers market in the greater Portland metro area.
