vertiges, diarrhée fatigue
La droite réalise à nouveau le grand chelem dans l'Eure avec Hervé Maurey, Nicole Duranton et Ladislas Poniatowski. Minnesota couldn’t muster the support for a proposed $6 billion statewide program, settling instead for a “lights on” alternative that actually reduces statewide highway construction funds by about one-sixth. Roughly half of all students (48.9 percent) attending Harriet Tubman Middle School qualify for free- or reduced-price meals, and indicator of low socio-economic status, according to data compiled by Portland Public Schools. After ODOT widened I-5 between Lombard and Victory Blvd. So, we’re not sure what the induced demand, if that gets modeled, it’s potential, but it’s not very large. And in Oregon, the latest state report tells us we’re losing ground in our stated objective to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, almost entirely because we’re driving more. Today, we take a look at traffic flows across the Columbia River I-5 Bridge, just north of the freeway widening project. Yesterday, we told the story of how residents of Vancouver Washington save $120 million annually, about 1,000 per household, by shopping in Oregon (which has no sales tax). Hood Freeway). It isn’t so much Earth Day as a three-weeks late “April Fools Day.”. If Louisville had tolled the river crossing before committing to constructing additional capacity, it would have realized it didn’t need anything like 12 lanes over the Ohio River–the existing bridges would have sufficed. Hébergement dédié : Group DIS, Digital Ad Trust The good news is that there’s some pushback from folks who think more freeways isn’t a solution to anything. Washington has a sales tax, Oregon doesn’t. Treat didn’t know. But what it represents is the effects of building a traffic model that assumes–quite counterfactually–that the CRC was built and operational in 2015, and funnelling roughly 3,000 more vehicles per hour in the peak hour into the Rose Quarter. Schroeder’s study of diverging diamonds reports that vehicles accelerating to freeway speeds are unlikely to yield: Our colleague Chuck Marohn at Strong Towns took a close look at arguments that the diverging diamond creates a pedestrian friendly setting. But that’s just the visible tip of a much larger carbon emissions iceberg that this package represented. In other diverging diamond installations, engineers have put down pavement markings to warn pedestrians that traffic is coming from an unexpected direction. En 2008, elle est élue conseillère générale du canton de Longjumeau (Epinay-sur-Orge, Longjumeau, Villemoisson-sur-Orge, Villiers-sur-Orge). The project’s public involvement plan, has a section entitled “Key Messages/Talking Points” that spells out exactly the way they plan to sell the project to the public. While the project touts the so-called covers, it downplays the fact that one element of the project is eliminating the current over-crossing that carries N. Flint Street over I-5. The key to our analysis is looking at the relationship between total personal income (the income of all the households living in an area) and retail sales tax receipts (the amount of taxes from spending on taxable retail sales. After 2010, peak hour volumes on the I-5 Northbound have been consistently below 5,000 vehicles per hour, ranging between 4,400 and 4,600 between 2012 and 2016. The Woodburn Interchange on I-5 ballooned from $25 million to $70 million. Calling it a cover conjures up visions of a roadway completely obscured from public view, and topped by a bucolic public space.What that immediately calls to mind, especially for those in the Pacific Northwest is Seattle’s “Freeway Park” constructed over Interstate 5 in the city’s downtown. The southern portion of the route passed through the historically African-American neighborhoods of Albina. For both of these crossings, traffic is moving in the opposite direction of every other two-way street in the city. But as long as there are property rights, the market will work fine. Search the project’s Environmental Assessment (EA) and its traffic technical report, and you’ll find no mention of the Columbia River Crossing or the CRC. The purpose of NEPA is to get decision makers to pause and reflect, and not allow a steady stream of seemingly minor and incremental decisions to systematically foreclose other, more environmentally sensitive options. Après un mandat de 6 ans, elle rejoint, en 2014, l'équipe de Guy Lefrand, actuel Maire d'Evreux et Président de Grand Evreux Agglomération (GEA). It’s a welcome, if minor, concession that someone at ODOT bent to reality and corrected the obvious (and intentional) error on their website. . As a rough basis for estimate, we’ll assume that the average shopping trip in Oregon results in spending somewhere between $125 and $250 per trip. If they did so, then clearly, they must bear a big part of the blame for the fact that kids have to breathe here. It’s Grand Avenue Viaduct project in Portland went 300% over budget, costing $98 million rather than $31 million. Truly mitigating that damage would require providing $140 million to build new housing to replace that lost–not making the freeway even wider. More freeway capacity will produce more driving. That’s an identified problem with the diverging diamond approach. But in asking for Board of Estimate approval, Moses had to submit to the board the actual plans for the bridge. It’s just one of many examples of how expanding freeway capacity to fight congestion is simply futile. A private company making this claim to sell its products might be subject to legal liability for making such a demonstrably false claim. Today, we take a close look at the allocation of the costs and benefits of the proposed $500 million Rose Quarter Freeway widening project in Portland. Making kids pay for freeway pollution—and in fact, pay twice, first by breathing polluted air, and then second, by having to pay for the cost of cleaning it–is both wrong and inefficient. – Remettre du bon sens dans l’action : de ses passages au Sénat, à l’Assemblée et en cabinet ministériel, elle a pu constater combien le pouvoir de la technocratie est important et combien ceux qui rédigent les textes qui encadrent la vie quotidienne sont parfois déconnectés des réalités. Police Reports Undercut that Claim.” True, two pedestrians have died on I-5, both either mentally ill or intoxicated while attempting to walk across the freeway–something this project would do nothing to address. If you widen first, and toll later, you’ll waste millions or billions. On a daily basis, our 6 to 12 million shopping trips works out to between 16,600 and 33.200 trips per day. Tubman School faces a further increase in air pollution from the proposal of the Oregon Department of Transportation to spend a half billion dollars to widen the portion of Interstate 5 that runs right by the school. If there are not settled property rights, then the crops burn and lawyers grow fat. There is no explanation in the EA, in the Traffic Technical Report, or in the materials submitted by ODOT on March 13 that explain this discrepancy. They often exaggerate here as well. Lest there be any doubt, take a look at this aerial photo showing the construction of Interstate 5 in 1962. Weidler) and the other going North-South (Vancouver Avenue and Williams Avenue) intersect atop the freeway, and also lead directly to freeway on-ramps and off-ramps. When the Cascadia Times recently tried to follow up on concerns about construction and air quality impacts of the proposed freeway widening project on local schools, and was given a similar vague reassurance: ODOT declined to make Johnson or Braibish available for comment. Portland Planning and Sustainability Commission. That’s why we’re spending time exploring this issue in detail here. There’s a very real unanswered question of how many vehicles per day ODOT assumed would be coming across the Columbia River in 2045. It’s yet another classic example of the problem of, : adding more freeway capacity in urban areas just generates additional driving, longer trips and more sprawl; and new lanes are jammed to capacity almost as soon as they’re open. . That’s clear when we look at what happened to the Albina neighborhood in the years after the freeway was completed. (Business taxes are also different: Washington taxes gross business receipts; Oregon taxes net business income). But there is another way. As Paul Krugman remarked in another context, using such language may make one sound shrill. This is plainly unfair. The overwhelming evidence is that tolling could reduce, delay or even eliminate the need for costly freeway widening. What additional capacity can do is more quickly push a highway past this “tipping point” resulting in slower traffic and lower throughput. All over the city, were spending public dollars to “bump out” the corners of intersections, to shorten crossing distances for people on foot, and to slow turning cars, and make pedestrians more visible. Fender benders often worsen traffic congestion because it takes time to clear away damaged vehicles, which leads to longer delays. “Recurring” congestion is the predictable daily (usually twice daily) slowing on a roadway that’s associated with the heavy demand from regular flows of commuters. This point was also confirmed by Travis Brouwer, a spokesman for the Oregon Department of Transportation, in response to questions posed by Jeff Mapes of Oregon Public Broadcasting. Data provided by the Clark County Washington Regional Transportation Council (RTC) seems to show that’s just what happened on I-5 after the 2010 widening project was completed. It actually repeats the same mistake. . And in fact, while DeLong’s point about “a veritable flamethrower” seems like hyperbole, that’s pretty much exactly what the Oregon Department of Transportation is doing here: Having already polluted the air near Tubman, it is doubling down on its earlier transgression—in part because of the moral hazard: coping with the pollution isn’t it’s problem—it’s neatly shifted all of the costs of pollution to others–in this case the students and Portland Public Schools. It’s one thing to acknowledge a past transgression, but the sincerity of that admission is measurable by whether there’s any actual willingness to repair the damage done. Years after I-5 was built, ODOT did install some concrete walls to attenuate freeway noise in North Portland, but as to air pollution, nothing. Flint Avenue is a low-speed, low volume neighborhood street that provides a safe, limited grade route between Northeast Portland and the Rose Quarter and Broadway Bridge. Sparks from the steam engines would fly into the farmer’s field, burning her crops. Technically, like most state’s Washington’s retail levy is a “sales and use tax,” meaning that residents are liable to pay the tax on goods regardless of where they are purchased. The project also claims benefits for bikes and pedestrians, but that’s actually very questionable, as the project eliminates entirely one low-speed, pedestrian and bike friendly street that crosses the freeway (Flint Avenue), and creates a pedestrian and bike hostile miniature diverging diamond interchange (where multiple lanes of traffic will be traveling on the wrong (left) side of the road, to speed cars on and off the freeway). The Rose Quarter freeway widening project is either a half-billion dollar ritual sacrifice to the freeway gods, or the world’s most expensive piece of performance art. Called the Trinity Parkway, the billion dollar road would have been built in the floodway of the long-neglected Trinity River that flows in and near downtown Dallas. Widening the freeway in this area actually led to an increase in crashes following ODOT’s last construction project a decade ago. But as of Monday March 2, the website has been changed. The clearest way to appreciate the absurdity of describing these covers as public space is to map them and subtract out the portion of the covers that is devoted to roadway. But the according to the National Household Travel Survey conducted by the US Department of Transportation, shopping trips and related errands are actually the most numerous kind of automobile trips. And here’s a detailed view of the diverging diamond feature. We look at three different sub-groups of persons living in the project area: residents of the Census Tract in which the project is located (Census Tract 23.03), persons living in North and Northeast Portland, and students attending the Tubman Middle School (which is located immediately adjacent to the Interstate 5 freeway). More housing in this neighborhood would come at a propitious moment: helping alleviate a housing shortage, and providing more opportunities to live in one of the region’s most walkable, bike-friendly locations. It was so bad that in 2004 the American Highway Users Alliance (AHUA) called one of its interchanges the second worst bottleneck in the nation wasting 25 million hours a year of commuter time. We’ve created a harmonized set of population estimates for the period 1960 to 2015 by linking these two different definitions. Puis en 1995, elle débute au Sénat comme assistante parlementaire aux côtés d’un tout jeune sénateur : Alain JOYANDET, sénateur maire de Vesoul (Haute-Saône) avec lequel elle travaillera pendant 8 ans. Sure, right after the project opened, travel times at rush hour declined, and the AHUA cites a. as evidence that the $2.8 billion investment paid off. A wider freeway will induce more traffic and pollution (and ironically, worsen traffic congestion), runs directly counter to the city and state’s goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, does nothing to improve safety, especially for those walking or biking, and disproportionately benefits higher income commuters from outside the city, while imposing social and environmental costs primarily on lower income households and people of color. Nicole Duranton Sénateur de L'Eure . This isn’t even a new lie: ODOT was shown to be lying when it made exactly this same “highest crash location” claim to market the failed $3 billion Columbia River Crossing. A realistic No-Build, one which reflected actual traffic levels, and which left out the surge of traffic created by the modeler’s assumption that the CRC is built, would have much lower levels of congestion and pollution. (The Tubman School is outlined in red). Here’s their colloquy, (which was repeated for the record due to a glitch in the city’s closed caption hearing system–we report both versions here): Commissioner Amanda Fritz “I was wondering about the taking out the Flint; What’s the rationale was behind that?”, Portland Bureau of Transportation Director Leah Treat: “I can’t answer that; I’ll have to get back to you on that.”, Fritz: “My question was, do you know what the rationale was for taking out Flint?”, Treat: “I don’t; I’ll will get back to you and follow up on that.”. We can also look at the average income of non-car-owning households in North and Northeast Portland. So it’s true that we have more than an academic interest in the proposed projects. And we’ve repeatedly show that ODOT’s claim that I-5 at the Rose Quarter in Portland is the state’s “#1 Crash Location” is contradicted by ODOT’s own crash data. Yesterday, we took a look at a recent Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) “performance report” on Portland area freeways. Meanwhile, in much of the Sunbelt, cities like Houston built more and wider freeways. All those shopping trips make a significant contribution to automobile traffic across the two Columbia River interstate bridges. ODOT has routinely experienced cost overruns of 200% or more on its major projects. According to the latest Census data, a majority of the persons living in this area commuted by transit, biking or walking. reducing vehicle idling in congestion will somehow lower carbon emissions is a delusional rationalization, induced demand is the gift that keeps on giving, folks who think more freeways isn’t a solution to anything, Climate concerns crush Oregon highway funding bill, eight states have enacted revenue increases, Governor Kate Brown and legislative leaders to withdraw support for the bill, Covid-19 is now a rural and red state pandemic, City Beat: No flight to Portland’s suburbs, The case against Metro’s $5 billion transportation bond, How do we make sure that open streets are truly open for everyone? The share of Washington vehicles in these parking lots ranged from about 20 percent to 70 percent, and varied according to the type of store. Freeways and the traffic they generate are intrinsically inimical to healthy urban spaces. It was even touted by road-building advocates as a poster child for freeway widening projects. The rationale presented for the I-5 Rose Quarter widening project is the engineering equivalent of iatrogenic disease. Even Tim Lomax, one of the authors of the congestion-alarmist, The traffic surge on the Katy Freeway may come as a surprise to highway boosters like Lomax and the American Highway Users Alliance, but will not be the least bit surprising to anyone familiar with the history of highway capacity expansion projects. Increased traffic and air pollution will most severely affect students at Tubman middle school–the project would widen the freeway onto land now occupied by the school. One of the supposed rationales for the project is that it will “knit together” the fabric of community that was rent asunder by the original construction of the Interstate 5 freeway in the 1960s. Coase’s story is about a farmer and a railroad, in this case, an old fashioned steam-powered railroad, with smoke-and-spark belching engines. ODOT could remedy this by undertaking a new analysis that forecast traffic levels based on the actual no-build situation: a world in which the existing I-5 bridges provide six lanes of traffic across the Columbia River. (Iatrogenic is “doctor-caused” for example, when an otherwise healthy person undergoing surgery in a hospital acquires an antibiotic resistant infection). Even Tim Lomax, one of the authors of the congestion-alarmist Urban Mobility Report, has admitted the Katy expansion didn’t work: “I’m surprised at how rapid the increase has been,” said Tim Lomax, a traffic congestion expert at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute. Let’s take a look at ODOT’s crash data for this stretch of Interstate 5. But in dramatic testimony to the State Legislature on June 24, Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) Director Matt Garrett conceded that his staff had overstated carbon emissions savings by a factor of five, and that rather than saving more than 2 million tons of carbon over a decade, the measures would save only about 400,000 tons. It’s monumentally unfair that students should bear the dual costs of breathing polluted air, and have their scarce educational dollars used to pay for air filters, while roads are used by high income commuters, who pay nothing towards these costs. Instead, the agency is using taxpayer money to add a lane to both sides of a 1.7 mile stretch of freeway. And it isn’t dictated by actual analysis–it’s part of a calculated strategy to “sell” the freeway, regardless of its merits, and in spite of the fact that this is demonstrably not about safety. A central piece of this legislation is advancing three projects that would widen Portland area highways. Those who live in “the ‘Couv”–Vancouver, Washington–often like to poke at their larger neighbor on the South side of the Columbia River; in the heyday of “Portlandia” for example, Vancouver wags produced their own “The dream of the suburbs is alive in Vancouver,” video in reply. Avertissez-moi par e-mail des nouveaux commentaires. (This post has been updated to correct a formatting error that concealed the first two of the last three paragraphs in the commentary). In the case of the FEIS, ODOT predicted that 180,000 vehicles per day would use I-5 in 2030 (the terminal year of its traffic forecast). Much of the attention has been devoted to a plan to partially cover the freeway and state and city officials say the covers would provide more space for bike lanes and wider sidewalks. What makes this even worse is the Oregon Department of Transportation’s truly awful record when it comes to safety. It’s coming to be recognized that a grid of local streets better manages traffic flow and enables pedestrian safety. Editor’s note: Commenters are puzzled that they can find no record of Harriet Tubman school prior to the 1980s. But fewer than half of these crashes involve injuries (about 7,500). The Rose Quarter Freeway widening project would demolish the current Flint Avenue Crossing over Interstate 5. Politique & Animaux est animé parl'association de protection animaleL214 - Éthique & Animaux ←, Sénateur -, Classement : The freeway-widening project will cut away a portion of the hillside that now separates the freeway from the school, moving the cars and trucks still closer to the building, and also increasing their volume—and the volume of pollution they emit. These data tables show peak hour traffic volumes at various locations on Interstate 5, and include data for existing (2016) levels of traffic and modeled 2015 and 2045 levels of traffic. This, as the saying goes, was no accident. This arrangement is hostile to pedestrian and bike movements for a number of reasons. Over the next decade, population declined even further, and by 1980 population had declined by another third. Nicole Duranton (née le 13 octobre 1958 à Breteuil (Eure)) est une femme politique française, sénatrice de l'Eure.. Biographie. And in Oregon, the latest state report tells us we’re losing ground in our stated objective to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, almost entirely because we’re driving more. But that rationale evaporates when you understand that the traffic projections that justify the project (and allegedly minimize its environmental effects) appear to be based on the assumption that the region spends $3 billion (and likely a good deal more) to build a 12-lane Columbia River Crossing project. Widening that freeway–at the cost of half a billion dollars–does nothing to right that wrong. Growing congestion and ever longer travel times are not something that the American Highway Users Alliance could have missed if they had traveled to Houston, read the local media, or even just “Googled” a typical commute trip. In addition, N. Flint Street is home to the Harriet Tubman middle school, which though currently vacant, is scheduled to be re-opened to serve students from North and Northeast Portland. The difference is a good estimate of how much sales tax Washington residents avoid on an annual basis. ODOT has no plans or budget to build them strong enough to support buildings (which would likely be cost-prohibitive while spanning a widened active freeway right-of-way). There’s just one problem: congestion on the Katy has actually gotten worse since its expansion. Asked what took her so long she says: “I got stuck on the I-5 bridge.” Her ersatz Fred Armisten responds: “Yeah, they need to replace that thing with a bigger bridge–and make Portland pay for it.”, The dream of the suburbs is alive in Vancouver (Youtube), Oregon’s Department of Transportation concedes it was lying about crashes on I-5 at the Rose Quarter. You are going to finish way behind on every race, at least until we no longer have the funds to even run a race. When ODOT widened Interstate 5 just north of the project area (a roadway that carries the same vehicles that travel through the Rose Quarter) crash rates did not decline, in fact they increased. One of the chief selling points of the project is the claim that it will “cover” the Interstate 5 freeway. Some studies find that such projects actually increase net emissions. A bit of geography: Clark County Washington sits just across the Columbia River from Portland, Oregon. The Eliot/Tubman building has been owned continuously by Portland Public Schools. L'amendement a été rejeté par 212 voix contre 119. But here, the science is well established. In November 2007 he announced the formation of a new centre-left political party, Modern Left (Gauche Moderne), following his resignation from the Socialist Party when joining the Sarkozy administration, and used this party as a vehicle to campaign in the municipal elections of 2008 for a fourth term as mayor. It’s a classic example of what one Oregon legislator referred to as “malicious compliance.” While we’re delighted that the record has been corrected, it shouldn’t have been necessary in the first place, had the agency been honest, and it certainly shouldn’t have required more than a year of repeated attempts to get it to change. No changes were made to the route. As traffic engineers well know, there’s a kind of backward bending speed-volume relationship. A highway can carry a certain amount of traffic at a relatively high speed, but as more cars are added, the freeway both slows down–and loses capacity. History has taught us what that kind of priority means for city neighobrhoods. Home Depot, Jantzen Beach Shopping Center, Oregon. Commuting is the single largest category of travel, and the biggest contributor to peak hour travel (with most work trips occurring in the early morning and late afternoon, giving rise to the double-humped nature of traffic congestion. Google Maps says the trip, which takes about half an hour in free-flowing traffic, can take up to an hour and 50 minutes at the peak hour. To find out, you have to follow the link buried in the footnote. The shortfall in taxable sales in Clark County, compared to the rest of the state is equal to a little more than six percent of personal income, or about $1.5 billion annually. Member of the Agglomeration community of Mulhouse Sud Alsace : Since 2001. It’s tempting to imagine that a “cover” could magically erase the scar created by running a multi-lane freeway through an urban neighborhood. The centerpiece of that redesign is a miniature version of a diverging diamond interchange. Economists now talk about the “Fundamental Law of Road Congestion“–each incremental increase in highway capacity generates a proportionate increase in traffic, with the effect that congestion quickly rebounds to previous levels–accompanied by more sprawl, longer trips and increased pollution. The Oregon Department of Transportation is proposing to widen a mile-long stretch of Interstate 5 opposite downtown Portland from 4 lanes to 6, at a cost currently estimated at just under half a billion dollars. The building now named Harriet Tubman was originally built as Eliot Elementary School in 1952. In a report entitled Unclogging America’s Arteries, released last month on the eve of congressional action to pump more money into the nearly bankrupt Highway Trust Fund, the AHUA highlighted the Katy widening as one of three major “success stories,” noting that the widening “addressed” the problem and, “as a result, [it was] not included in the rankings” of the nation’s worst traffic chokepoints. There’s good evidence that funnelling more traffic onto the region’s roads. Widening I-5 actually increased crashes, instead of reducing them, and an even wider freeway won’t be less congested if crashes don’t decline. Just this month, the City of Dallas junked decades old plans to build a six-lane tollway to relieve downtown traffic congestion. Putting an imaginary $3 billion bridge, and its attendant traffic, in the “No-Build” scenario distorts the environmental assessment beyond reason. Today we show evidence that when ODOT widened I-5 between Lombard and Victory Boulevard a few years ago, it only managed to funnel more traffic more quickly into the I-5 Columbia River bridge chokepoint. Derniers commentaires concernant Nicole Duranton Proposition de loi N° 293 (2019-2020), Marie-Claude GHERARDI a dit le 29/04/2020 : Monsieur le Sénateur, nous avons l’honneur de vous soumettre un exemple qui pour l’instant contrevient aux règles communes. Mayor of Mulhouse : 1989–2010 (Resignation). A proposed freeway widening project will tear out one of Portland’s most used bike routes.
