I'm old enough to remember when the plan was to only spend $0.8B on this congestion and we haven't even tried #deCongestionPricing, which is supposed to be done before construction, in the five years they've wasted to get the widening planned. 😒 #ODOTGTFOpdx #NOi5RQX

"The city’s Pedestrian Advisory Committee PAC is so opposed to the project they want PBOT to withdraw their support completely." #NOi5RQX

Nice weekend to pepper ODOT with public comment about how they should make the lids of their freeway hold taller buildings instead of having extra lanes. #ClimateAction #InducedDemand #NOi5RQX

“ODOT has such a powerful, well-funded PR machine…they’re going to do all kinds of things to manufacture consent for this project by downplaying dissent and hiding the truth about the congestion, air pollution and carbon emissions... The more that we can demonstrate Portland supports [ lids not lanes ], the less legitimacy ODOT will have insisting the projects must be linked.” -- #NoMoreFreeways
