THINK TRAFFIC IS BAD NOW? JUST WAIT Recall that Portland is the poster child of Light Rail. After two decades of lunacy, they are reaping the benefits of ignoring roads and investing in rail: 1) Portland is the 26th-largest metropolitan region in the country but has the 16th-worst congestion. 2) If transportation spending is not increased, the average metropolitan area household will be stuck in congestion for 69 hours a year by 2040 — triple the time in 2010. 3) Documented choke points include the Interstate 5 bridge over the Columbia River, the intersection of I-5 and Interstate 84, and portions of Interstate 205, Highway 26 and Highway 217.
