These videos will outline the problems with the Bridge, Light Rail and Tolls.
Put it to a vote, if it passes we get it. If it fails we don't.
However, these videos well detail some of what is happening behind closed doors and showing us who we really elected.
The billion dollar questions are who stands to gain the most from this project? Follow the Money.
Fails on supposition #1 "we need a new bridge".
This has never been backed up with fact.
The bridge is working now. Congestion is not failure, it is overuse.
With minimal cost to taxpayers ($125 to $265 million: from offical CRC report) seismic upgrades would make the current bridge safe.
Lift span issues can be fixed entirely on the federal dime with an upgrade to the down river BNSF Rail bridge that doubles capacity while aligning a new lift with the high point on the current I-5 bridge.

@stanbernadino Pssshhh, forget you and your cars. Light rail is more energy efficient at transporting people than anything you could soup up in your garage.

There is no point spending $4 billion on a new bridge if it's going to have the same number of traffic lanes as the 100 year old one. We'll just have the same congestion problems in ten years that we do now. Forget light rail, add more traffic lanes
