Clackamas County Commission Will Hear Anti-CRC Resolution

By NIGEL JAQUISS

Clackamas County commissioners have long expressed concerns about the potential impact of the proposed $3.5 billion Columbia River Crossing project.

Among the biggest concerns: the increased congestion on I-205 and the Glenn Jackson Bridge to Washington in the event the project moves forward with the current plan, which calls for tolling the I-5 bridge but not the Glenn Jackson Bridge.

On Feb. 7, Clackamas County's new chairman, John Ludlow, will introduce a resolution saying the commission "strongly objects" to the project moving forward in its current form, adding a list of new objections.
