Comments on: Noise reduction a concern for CRC construction /news/2011/01/17/noise-reduction-a-concern-for-crc-construction/ Building and Construction News in Portland, Oregon and the Pacific Northwest Tue, 25 Jan 2011 18:03:16 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.6.6 By: Steve /news/2011/01/17/noise-reduction-a-concern-for-crc-construction/#comment-50801 Tue, 25 Jan 2011 18:03:16 +0000 /?p=65774#comment-50801 The primary reason this project is held up is because there is simply no funding for it available, and a large chunk of the funding is supposed to come from WSDOT and ODOT respectively. Considering most of the project occurs in Washington state, the proposed CRC seems like a raw deal for Oregonians and Portlanders in particular.

This is a very complicated project, this video helps break it down:

WSDOT and ODOT should bow their heads in shame for caving in to tree huggers, carbon-is-bad cyclists and Portland politics.

This bridge doesn’t seem like a sure thing yet. It’s so easy to spend other people’s money, isn’t it?
