Oh man. I know, and what seems all the worse is that basically the city, for putting in the road, "forced" the company into an improvement, i.e. created a situation that needed a resolution. It reminds me of when Portland regraded the road in front of my grandparent's house many many many years ago. By taking down the grade, they stranded the garage, and the car in it, ten plus feet above the new road! Typical thinking, alas. <br /> <br />Locally my city, (not Portland, but a burb to the SW,) wants to pu***hrough two new roads accross the railroad tracks, even as those tracks are expected to see a four fold increase in traffic over the next 5 years. They don't see why ODOT Rail and the railroad oppose their idea, and they think that an overpass is just foolish over-reaction. <br /> <br />Cameras to catch gate crashers? Hmm... a not unappealing idea.... <br /> <br />~Alexander <br />Not an employee, relative, or stockholder. (Not that those would make a difference.)
