Eight Legal Roadblocks Facing the Interstate Bridge Project
Published 2 weeks, 1 day ago
Description
Joe Cortright from City Observatory dissects the Interstate Bridge Replacement Program's 10,000-page Final Environmental Impact Statement, exposing how the $15.5 billion project violates federal transportation law through fiscal insolvency, incomplete planning, and bogus traffic projections. The analysis reveals a "forever project" that serves consulting firms rather than taxpayers, with half a billion dollars already billed for a plan that former Administrator Greg Johnson calls "basically the same" as the failed Columbia River Crossing. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-eight-reasons-the-interstate-bridge-project-shouldnt-and-cant-legally-move-forward/ #InterstaBridge #Transportation #Opinion #IBR #ClarkCounty #Oregon #Washington #LightRail #HighwayExpansion #FederalLaw
