Fright Rail

The Oralgroanian reported yesterday that our overlords at the Metro Council have “unanimously endorsed plans to extend light rail from Portland to Milwaukie.”  Their social engineering plan includes the first bridge built across the Willamette since 1973.  According to the O, the “bridge would carry the Portland streetcar, buses, bicyclists, and pedestrians — but no cars.”  The light rail line will allow easier transportation from Portland to its last stop in the Oak Grove area of Clackamas County.  Many expressed excitement over the vote, most notably drug dealers and pimps eager to expand their territory, along with others who work so hard at keeping Portland weird.  The Metro Council was unavailable to comment on fixing the pothole on my street, but did offer me a bus schedule.

Pretty In Pink: Sam Adams demonstrates the future of motoring in the metro area.
