They are allowing a vote from its citizens on light rail instead of shoving down the throats of its citizens like Trimet does. Hip Hip Hooray for a government that actually cares about its citizens. We live in an area that has no concern for voters. "We know best what you peons need"

They're going to the ballot because they're required to. They made it clear at the meeting they have already approved CRC light rail and Fourth Plain BRT and will look for another funding mechanism should this not pass.
I'd say this is complicated. One example, I live in Portland (and don't own/want a car) and would like to apply for a particular job in Vancouver. However, it's not even in my reach. A connecting train or BRT would help make this possible. I feel a true BRT system would be the most effective, but people tend to like rail better and may get better usage by white people.
Jeff-the BRT would only go down the 4th Plain corridor as far as Van Mall, so unless job would be on 4th Plain brt would be useless. Currently it's not that tough to do a reverse commute. C-Tran offers several express bus routes from downtown PDX monday-friday. Also 7 days a week you can ride the yellow line to VanPort/Delta Park and hop on a C-Tran 4th Plain or monday-friday 44 Fourth Plain limited.
