Clark County Council members are weighing how far a potential C-TRAN sub-district should extend if voters are asked to fund light rail operations and maintenance
During a recent work session, the Clark County Council heard details from C-TRAN officials about how a voter-approved sub-district could be created to help pay long-term operations and maintenance costs for light rail tied to a new Interstate Bridge. Councilors discussed several possible boundaries — ranging from downtown Vancouver to broader areas that could include urban unincorporated Clark County — as a way to limit who would be asked to pay, given concerns about support outside Vancouver and among smaller cities. This poll asks where, if anywhere, such a sub-district should be drawn.
