Listen "Anti-Freeway Group Clogs the Courts to Keep Congestion"
Episode Synopsis
As a new driver, I avoid Portland’s Rose Quarter because I’m not eager to test my car’s insurance policy. There were over 800 crashes in the Rose Quarter between 2011 and 2017. It’s congested for most of the day and drivers must bob-and-weave through the short lanes between ramps.
That could change with the Rose Quarter Improvement Project. The project, approved by the Oregon legislature and signed by Governor Kate Brown, would relieve the largest bottleneck in the region by adding auxiliary lanes and expanding safety shoulders.
Listen to why Vlad Yurlov believes the Rose Quarter Improvement Project could bring relief to Portland's congestion and explains what's stopping politicians from providing a solution.
