The former Governor and her fellow Metro Councilor Carl Hosticka are leading the "planning" for the Barbur Boulevard/Highway 99W corridor from Portland to Newburg, and by golly, they're "listening" to what people want instead of letting "planners" tell them what to expect. Right.
It appears that they know that people want a crime-train, fewer traffic lanes, and more bicycle amenities. Oh, and big apartment complexes, too.
One area that is hoping to benefit is the corridor along Barbur Boulevard.
Barbur’s concept plan is designed to change that by adding higher density housing, sidewalks, bike lanes and commercial amenities.
In actual fact, "the area" doesn't want any of this stuff, which is why petition drives are presently occurring to place any such spending plans before the voters before the clowns start piling out of the car. The Clackistani Uprising occurred a little late in the game; folks on the west side learned from their mistakes.
