Portland aggressive plan to expand Light rail is not sustainable!
Plan would raise parking fees
Many taxes and fees will be increased to fund the I-205 line such as.
Increased parking meter fees, creating a local improvement district composed of downtown properties near the transit mall, higher transit payroll taxes, diverting urban renewal money that would have gone to police, fire, schools and social services and federal transit grants. Also included are contributions from Portland, TriMet, Metro, the Oregon Department of Transportation, Portland State University and Clackamas County.
Tri-Met has stated in the past that there is not enough passengers to run a bus along I-205.
