While it is sensible to have some form of mass transit across the Columbia River, it makes no sense to permanently close off that great river from future ship traffic just to have light rail. Buses can easily handle higher bridges. Once across they can also fan out to multiple destinations. Please do not let dark politics or hidden agendas determine the future of our waterways by directing all ship traffic up the Willamette River.
