Pages 4-7 to 4-10, 4-13 and 4-14 (PDF, 382K) of the screening report (PDF 3.3M) describe some of the more exotic ways of getting people across the river:
- Ferries
- Monorails
- Maglev Trains
- Personal Rapid Transit
- People Movers
Staff reject them. I’m actually sorry to see Ferries crossed off the list, but I appreciate the argument that the slowest bus can get from downtown Vancouver to downtown Portland faster than the fastest ferry. There’s just too much out of direction travel.
This is the last batch of projects for CRC week here at Portland Transport. You can comment for the rest of the day. At midnight we’ll cut off comments and collect them all to submit for the public record.
