bout friggen time
if the bloody thing had been:
1) built for high volume comuter flow ala Subway, bart, L and not based off a more expensive light rail's less than 1% of all comuter traffic i would have supported it.
2) cheaper a hell of alot cheaper.
3) Not shoved down our throughts 1200 times before they cheated to begin the building process.
4) not a line the pockets of "we know what's best for you lil'citizen so shut the fVck up" mentality of the monorail comittie I might have been able to over look one or two of the previous 3 reasons.

i'm sorry man I really am
I lived and owned a house when they were raping my *** for the hillsboro extenstion.
They need to realize IT DOES NOT CARRY ENOUGH PEOPLE.
If they had widened the freeways and designed the roads 30 years in advance they would have not had the issue they do now with trafic. For what you are paying for the hillsboro LR you could have had one lane added on each side of the free way and a tualitian/sherewood - hillsboro by-pass freeway.
It's friggen stupid. it's only designed to carry less than 1% of commuter traffic in a day. Who the flark builds something 50 times more expensive than a road to only carry less than 1% of the traffic. What the hell were they thinking.
I'll give you my idea of what they were thinking.
"shut the flark up you litttle peopn taxpayer we elitist know it alls know what is best for your sorry pathetic life."
**** them metro should be shot.

the westside sucks for traffic, but they are working on the freeway now
the problem is that everyone wants to live in the burbs and work in the city, people need to move closer to there work. Im an electrician so I have to travel alot. When I work out by Hillsburito I see tons of Washington cars going to work out there.

they should have done that in the early 90's
and honestly one lane each side will not cut it. They need 2 each way from down town to banks.
That would bring them up to speed with todays current traffic.
They should have planned for 20-30 years out instead of 20 years behind.
Portland needs a freeway from:
tualtain to hillsboro as a bypass.
From banks to scappoose/longview as a bypass.
From 26 east bound at the 99e connection to I205/224.
Columbia road needs to be made into a freeway.
26 wb needs to be atleast 5 lanes
I-5 needs to be 5 lanes to the river including the 1-5 bridge to salem
I-205 needs to be 5 lanes from tualitain to washington and up to the i-5 merge again.
I-405 should be 2 lanes wider from the start till the bridge.
