Fact-Checking C-TRAN's Fixed Rail Claims
Vancouver resident Michael Backman challenges Councilor Erik Paulsen's claim that no other Washington city of 300,000 lacks fixed-rail service — pointing out Seattle is the only city that even meets that population threshold. Backman also disputes that converting The Vine BRT to tram service is as simple as laying rail, citing engineering overhauls and electrification costs that Clark County taxpayers would bear. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/letter-fact-checking-the-c-tran-fixed-rail-discussion/ #CTRAN #FixedRail #Vancouver #ClarkCounty #PublicTransit #WashingtonState #Opinion #TransitFunding #Infrastructure #Letters
