🚨 STOP ODOT’S BACKROOM HEIST, HELP US RIGHT-SIZE INTERSTATE BRIDGE INVESTMENT
The freeway lobbyists have included a $1 billion allocation of General Obligation Bond funds for the proposed Interstate Bridge Replacement in an amendment to House Bill 5005. This amendment dropped over the holiday weekend, a day before two work session votes on the legislation, the week before session ends.

Kotek: “If we tie up a lot of money in the [#I5Bridge] over the next four biennia, that limits our ability to do other things. So we really have to think that through.” 💯 #NoMoreFreeways #RightSizeRightNow #orpol

The #NYTimes continues to flex its #NoMoreFreeways muscle. Today an excellent piece on #InducedDemand.

Matt Turner, an economics professor at #BrownUniversity, said adding lanes is a fine solution if the goal is to get more #cars on the road. But most #highway expansion projects cite reducing #traffic as a primary goal.

“If you keep adding lanes because you want to reduce traffic congestion, you have to be really determined not to learn from history,” Dr. Turner said.

“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
