LTD decided to build two bike and pedestrian bridges for the EmX expansion. They committed to building them where they are not needed without consulting anyone who lives in the area or anyone who walks or rides bikes. When they finally told us about their plans, we asked why they didn't place one connecting the Fern Ridge bike path, north of Amazon Creek, to the large shopping centers south of the creek (anchored by Target and Wal-Mart). They were mystified as to why such bridges would be useful. 

Our unelected government entities around here are about incompetent as I've ever seen (LRAPA, LTD, city manager and his staff). We need some charter changes and state law adjustments to bring our government under voter control, imo.
