For the third time, the Vancouver City Council has extended its moratorium on crude oil-handling facilities by six months, drawing praise from citizens Monday night.
“Your example has led to people throughout the region taking a closer look at the issue,” said Dan Serres, conservation director for Columbia Riverkeeper.
Due to Vancouver’s opposition to a massive crude oil-by-rail terminal proposed for the Port of Vancouver, the city of Portland has adopted a resolution opposing the project, Serres said.
