Jan. 30. 1975 (Sac. 1) East County LWV discusses alternatives to freeway Everybody loves a freeway. lives in Washington and when As long as it's in somebody something goes wrong with the 1-5 bridge and we can hardly elses backyard D ick Etherington, tra n s operate,” he said "Another portation director for bridge over the Columbia is a Columbia Region Association necessity ’ One League m em ber of Governm ents, discussed some alternatives to freeway criticized Tri-M et because it construction with East County assumes everybody wants to go League of Women Voters to Portland. "We need routes that go members last week “The more highways we have north-south as well as east- the more traffic we get," west,” one woman suggested Most of the pressure on Etherington told League members. "We can’t continue transportation facilities is put to build highways at a fast enough rate because after a freeway is built people tend to make more trips and urban growth continues to the suburbs.” The transportation director suggested using the $106 million in freeway funds for other modes of travel such as mass transit. “ It takes $20 million a mile to put in a freeway—we can build five miles of freeway or we can find other methods of travel," he said. “We're talking about spending a tremendous amount of money. Perhaps we could spread it over more corridors.” Some LVW members suggested that now that the West Side has its freeways it prefers to leave the E ast County “ orphan" with the inadequate Banfield Freeway which was labeled a “death trap in the rain" by one member " I live on the other side of town," Etherington said, “ and it’s no bed of roses either. All you have to do is get on a hill and see all those cars bumper to bumper heading for that same tunnel." People who commute from Vancouver. Wash., to Portland, have a rather chancy proposition, too, he said. “There's one way to get there—about half of our staff on by commuters at peak hours. Etherinton said " W e ’re not saying there aren't going to be cars." he said "P ro bab ly providing mass transit for shoppers— winding through neighborhoods to pick up passengers—isn't the most economical use of transit money.” He cited his wife’s shopping trips as an example. "We have three little kids and my wife doesn’t usually drive at rush hour so it wouldn't really be practical for her to ride the bus,” he smiled. 'Besides, soggy bags fall apart in the rain,” a mother of preschoolers quipped One county resident living in an unincorporated area questioned Etherington about representation on CRAG. “There are 150,000 of us in unincorporated areas Who is speaking for us on CRAG?" she asked. “ We didn't get to vote d ire c tly on our represen tative." the proposed center at 181st and the Banfield “ If they ask us what impact the center will have on transportation needs we can tell them Two exam ples are Clackam as Town Center and the Tomahawk Island projects, where we estimated what transportation needs would have to be met if they went in.” Etherington said it was naive to think the Mt. Hood Freeway wouldn't have tremendous growth impact on the "F or example, when the mayor of Troutdale comes to CRAG, he still wears the hat he brings with him as mayor, but he s till has to rem em ber Troutdale is a part of the region,” he said. CRAG is often in the middle of problems relating to growth, such as shopping centers, he admitted. "Shopping centers come under focal jurisidiction and we can’t say yes or no on them," he said about inquiries regarding "A ll of a sudden you didn't have to work In that little town where you lived any more you could lake the freeway," he said "But there is something called induced travel when a freeway goes in more traffic is created." He said he'd like to see East County and the Gresham area as a "focus of jobs and shop ping.” "We don't want the Gresham area to end up like Beaverton," he said Damascua-Bonng area " It would open up thousands of acres to development when you can say only 20 minutes to Portland on the freeway that’s quite a selling point," he said He discussed the proposal to widen the Banfield. adding a lane for buses and carpool cars “ They say th e re ’s room where the Union Pacific is," he said Etherington, who came from the east, said he's seen the impact freeways can have •04«%» BONELESS PORK roasts fe i F orum Naw» and Views About Mt.
