I couldn’t agree more with “Build a tunnel, not a bridge” (Our Readers’ Views, Jan. 2). Being from the San Francisco area, I was there when they built BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit). Two tunnels from Oakland to San Francisco built in sections and then put together underwater. The I-5 corridor just north of Vancouver is just about right angle down to the river where the tunnel would connect. Parts of a bridge on both sides could be used as fishing pier.
