MLR creating chaos for residents

Light rail brings chaos everywhere it goes

“It’s just a total disaster now,” Gladstone resident Maryanne Moore told the Board of County Commissioners on Thursday, Sept. 25.
Moore said more should be done to ensure safety on Southeast Oatfield Road, which has a steep S-curve before it intersects at Park Avenue, funneling drivers to Highway 99E/Southeast McLoughlin Boulevard.
Commissioner Paul Savas agreed: “It’s terrible to travel through there; I drive through it every day.”
Savas said he has even heard from residents who plan to move away and suggested Metro’s density requirements were to blame for the strife. “We’re stuck sometimes with the end result,” he said.
