could be in store for a new I-5 bridge.

Todd Boulanger is a Senior Transportation Planner with the City of Vancouver (WA). But that’s just his day job. He’s known in the bike scene as a cross-cultural bike-fun ambassador and an Alice Award winner (2005), who also happens to be an expert on bicycle and pedestrian facilities around the world.
Luckily for us, he’s sharing that expertise with Columbia River Crossing staff as a member of the project’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee.
Yesterday Todd sent me a few photos he snapped during a trip with Commissioner Sam Adams and PDOT staff to The Netherlands back in 2006.
Todd says he took the photos of a bridge in Rotterdam specifically for design discussions for a new Interstate Bridge. According to Todd, this type of bike/ped facility could be a viable design for the replacement bridge option.
Here are a few more shots of the bridge…
