The citizens using the bridge have voted it down several times. We need a third bridge if the goal is to reduce traffic, which it is not. Anyone reading the numerous articles/ letters by John Ley know that it is all about light rail. Now the coast guard says it needs the bridge 178 feet. How long before Cantwell and company put pressure on the coast guard to change the requirement?

The 18th legislative district needs to vote John Ley for their representative. Clark County needs him in Olympia to fight this obscene waste of tax dollars.

This document was submitted to the Interstate Bridge Replacement Bi-state WA/OR legislative committee by Bob Ortblad and includes graphics showing the IBR plan for a tall bridge vs a tunnel. The IBR team is recommending only one option for the states to consider, an I-5 replacement tall bridge with costly light rail. Far less costly buses and vans for public transit can share a lane with other vehicles, saving $ MILLIONS and making the most of the limited space and $ available. More than one option should be duly considered for the crossing type, and the transit.
