As a retired grandma in Vancouver, I often travel to Hillsboro, Ore., to volunteer in my granddaughter’s classroom. Each time, I dread getting trapped in the I-5 bridge traffic. It’s 45 minutes over there and 31/2 hours back on Friday afternoons, with bumper-to-bumper polluting gridlock.
I so look forward to one day sitting on the MAX reading my book and doing Sudoku.
