What if a the I-5 bridge was left as is and a new vehicular/light rail bridge was added close to where the current railroad bridge now stands? It could connect to Mill Plain Blvd crossing Hayden Island and linking with North Marine Drive. The vehicular traffic could connect with I-5 at the Oregon Expo Center onramp and another spur could continue on to NE Columbia blvd into North Portland. The lightrail portion would run west along 8th street to the new bridge, crossing the Columbia to stop at Hayden island then across to North Marine drive to connect to the yellow line at the Expo Center. Just an idea. Also, what about brining back a ferry or water taxi system?
