Wouldn’t it be great if Portland removed the redundant part of I-5 right here. It would be an extreme minimal impact to anybody driving in the area but it would be a MASSIVE boon to the city itself, being able to remove a vast and expensive section of the interstate that is devaluing what ought to be a multi-billion dollar segment of river front property! What’s your thoughts?

I’d love to see I-5 just ripped out between point 1 and 2 on the map. It’d be easy to do and the capacity issues with the two merges at that point would be removed too, it’d just become seamless turns and instead the state and feds responsible for I-5 could stop wasting Portland’s time and money and instead focus on the other connection point of I-84 and I-5 that has, would, and continues to this day to exist in north Portland.
