Clark County's Light Rail Fight: Votes Ignored, Costs Soar
Published 3 months, 4 weeks ago
Description
Clark County voters rejected light rail in 2012 and passed a 68% advisory vote against it in 2013 — yet Councilors Yung, Fuentes, and Marshall have continued pushing the project. The IBR I-5 Bridge cost estimate has doubled from $7.5 billion to $15.2 billion since 2023, and a C-TRAN board restructuring now gives Vancouver effective control of six of nine seats. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/letter-local-politicians-have-ignored-repeated-votes-against-light-rail-and-a-county-resolution-opposing-light-rail/ #LightRail #IBR #ClarkCounty #CTRAN #Vancouver #Transportation #Opinion #Politics #WashingtonState
