Rail in Vancouver? C-TRAN Leaders Push Back on Paulsen

C-TRAN board member Tim Hein says small cities won't pay for any fixed rail expansion in Vancouver — costs must be sold by Vancouver and Clark County leaders to their own constituents. Hein and Erik Paulsen are meeting to discuss Paulsen's vision for rail throughout Vancouver and the urban growth area, while board chair Bart Hansen cites a $2 billion price tag just to extend light rail one mile from the Expo Center to the Vancouver Waterfront. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/leaders-react-to-erik-paulsens-proposal-to-bring-rail-infrastructure-to-streets-of-vancouver/ #CTRAN #Vancouver #FixedRail #LightRail #Transportation #ClarkCounty #TransitPlanning #VancouverWA #CTRAN2045 #PublicTransit
