For those who are really serious about reclaiming valuable urban space for people, it makes sense to tear out freeways, as Rochester is currently doing, rather than building more. If you want to get a flavor for how this issue is being discussed locally, here’s City Observatory’s Joe Cortright discussing the proposal to widen Portland area freeways with State Senator Lee Beyer, the author of the legislation, on Oregon Public Broadcasting’s “Think Out Loud.”, Portland is thinking about widening freeways; other cities show that doesn’t work. More housing and fewer roads are the cornerstones of revitalizing the city’s downtown, according to the Congress for the New Urbanism.

In addition, as we’ve pointed out at City Observatory, the footprint of the project allows ODOT to have eight full-sized travel lanes on the freeway, just by striping it to the same standards it already uses in urban interstate freeways in Portland. (Not only that, but they’ve apparently created a kind of alternative reality in which the CRC existed in 2015). in 2010, crashes went up, not down. Instead, it ought to ask how half a billion dollars could be invested to make this neighborhood, the city and the region a better place in which to live. What these data show is that the hourly volume of cars crossing the I-5 bridges at the peak hour has fallen close to 10 percent since the bottleneck was removed. So, after a year of pointing out their falsehood, ODOT has, in the most grudging way possible, admitted that its been lying about the safety problems of this stretch of I-5.

Member of the Agglomeration community of Mulhouse Sud Alsace : Since 2001. If you could duplicate that record (with today’s much more fuel efficient cars, and on roads with much lighter traffic), it would require metering 640 freeway ramps to achieve 400,000 tons of savings per year. In fact, no two adjacent states have more starkly different tax systems that Oregon and Washington. a billion dollars on three freeway widening, Fatalities on Oregon roadways are up 58 percent since 2013.

There are profound differences in the race and ethnicity of those who will be the primary beneficiaries of this project (peak hour, drive alone commuters, chiefly from Washington State), and those who will bear the environmental consequences of the project (exemplified by Tubman Middle School students) who will breathe the emissions and cope with the increased car traffic associated with the project.

The city even has a program to identify households displaced from the neighborhood by urban renewal, and give them preferential access to newly constructed subsidized housing. Yet these basic facts are purposefully concealed, and not revealed in the EIS. Puis en 1995, elle débute au Sénat comme assistante parlementaire aux côtés d’un tout jeune sénateur : Alain JOYANDET, sénateur maire de Vesoul (Haute-Saône) avec… And political leaders have jumped on the bandwagon to make this point.

Willamette Week debunked ODOT’s safety claims:. With hundreds fewer homes and residents, there were fewer customers for local businesses, fewer students for local schools, and less property tax revenue to pay for public services.

It’s not surprising: can’t claim to reduce traffic congestion. The more traffic on nearby roads, the larger the decline in scores on state standardized tests.

The panel recommended further  traffic studies to test whether the CRC will simply shift the bottleneck south, and called for ODOT and the City of Portland to “fully develop a solution for I-5 from I-405 to I-84” and to program that solution in conjunction with the phasing of the construction of the CRC (page 113). State Secretary to the Minister of Commerce, Handicrafts and Tourism : 1984–1986.

Widening that freeway–at the cost of half a billion dollars–does nothing to right that wrong. There are some token efforts in that direction. ont agi contre les animaux sur les thèmes : Chasse . It’s also worth remembering that it doesn’t take a huge reduction in traffic volumes, particularly at the peak hour, to get traffic to move much more smoothly. This money will buy an expensive state-of-the-art air filtration system that will make the air inside the school safe for students to breathe. It’s dishonest and shameful. Three-quarters of peak hour, drive-alone commuters from Clark County to Oregon are white, Non-Hispanic. Safety is a shop-worn talking point for highway advocates: We need to spend more money on roads, don’t you understand, in order to make them safer.
