On the September 30th episode of The Lars Larson Show, host Lars Larson referenced John Ley’s recent article published on Clark County Today, highlighting key concerns with the $7.5 billion Interstate Bridge Replacement (IBR) project. Larson emphasized the impracticality of the proposed MAX light rail station being 90 feet above ground at the Vancouver Waterfront, as well as 55 feet off the ground on Hayden Island. With 54% of the bridge allocated to bikes, pedestrians, and transit, questions arise about the project’s practicality and the prioritization of vehicle traffic.
