tments and land use regulations intended to reduce the use of autos in favor of walking, biking, and transit. One of the major transportation investments is a light rail system that now totals about 40 route miles. The first 16-mile line of this system opened in 1986. This paper examines how the light rail decision evolved from the anti-freeway battles in
Portland during the early 1970s.
TODay the decision is sometimes portrayed as a simple victory for anti-highway forces that transferred money from an unpopular urban interstate to light rail. In reality the decision was more of an accommodation of environmentally and socially conscious politicians with road builders. The final deal left the old power brokers still in charge and resulted in more rather than less highway spending in the region. It does appear, however, that the new spending package was more esthetically and socially desirable than the old. This paper focuses on negotiations of regional leaders as opposition to the Mt. Hood Freeway grew after 1970.
