The U.S. Department of Transportation's rejection of ODOT's request for $750 million has caused significant setbacks for the Rose Quarter I-5 Improvement Project, leaving ODOT drastically underfunded.
Representative Susan McLain expressed disappointment at the rejection, indicating it halts years of planning and puts the future of the I-5 expansion in jeopardy.
With a budget now surpassing $900 million short, the challenge to secure funding for the $1.5-1.9 billion project is critical and could affect the entire Albina neighborhood redevelopment.
The decision not only impacts the Rose Quarter area but raises concerns about transportation infrastructure funding and planning processes for similar future projects.
