Vancouver Mayor Challenges IBR's Single Light Rail Stop Plan
Anne McEnerny-Ogle's 48-second statement to the Regional Transportation Council exposed a major shift in the Interstate Bridge Replacement Program's light rail plans. While officials celebrated a $7.65 billion bridge project last month, they quietly revealed that light rail would only reach Vancouver's waterfront — requiring a 70-foot elevator for commuters. The mayor now wants to extend service to Library Square to connect with C-TRAN buses, questioning why this change wasn't disclosed during Governor Ferguson's victory lap. State Representative John Ley calls the lack of transparency part of a pattern that has kept taxpayers in the dark about exploding costs and shifting transit plans. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/vancouver-mayor-counters-ibrs-proposal-for-the-only-light-rail-stop-to-be-at-the-waterfront/ #IBR #LightRail #Vancouver #Transportation #ClarkCounty #Politics #Transit #BridgeReplacement #PublicTransit #CTran
