In his recent opinion column, Clark County Today Editor Ken Vance takes a critical look at the $7.5 billion I-5 Bridge replacement project, raising key concerns about its impact and effectiveness. Many in the community question whether the current plan will truly reduce traffic congestion, while others believe the high cost is unjustified. The inclusion of TriMet’s light rail into Vancouver remains a controversial element, and some argue that a third Columbia River crossing would be a better long-term solution.
As the debate continues, we want to hear from you! What do you think is the biggest issue with the current plan? Vote in this week’s poll and make your voice heard!
