Coos Bay Port Could Backfire | Portland News
Description
A massive $2.3 billion Pacific Coast Intermodal Port project in Coos Bay could send six-mile-long freight trains daily from Eugene to Portland—likely handled by Union Pacific—sparking fears of gridlock, delays for Amtrak, and unchecked congestion. Backed by top state and federal officials, the plan faces backlash from locals who feel sidelined, with critics calling it a costly gamble that prioritizes big infrastructure over community well-being. Portlanders and other residents are urged to demand smarter, livable investments instead.
