During the public comment period, residents urged officials to clean up trash along local highways and criticized the Interstate Bridge Project over its multi-billion-dollar price tag, proposed tolls, and design features like elevated bike lanes. Following these remarks, the board unanimously approved the consent agenda as presented without any discussion. An item approved within that consent agenda—the withdrawal of a Clark County road project—subsequently required the board to pass an emergency reallocation of federal grant funds to meet state obligation targets.

What was said
8:34 maybe three bikes a day, really. And they wanna put it up 10 stories high, give me a break. Look at my leg. How many of you have ever ridden your bikes across I-5? Yeah, yeah. And how many of you would it be a struggle if it was 10 stories high? Yeah, look at this. You see that scar? It's no joke, I'm disabled. I used to do that for my health, and now I fear it in the rain. We don't need tri-met. We don't need another bridge there. We need two other bridges on the other sides. We have plenty of extra train tracks right here on the west side of the city. You don't need to build more trains. I don't know what kind of kickbacks they're getting, but it's a joke, and it's a way of screwing over the American people by misusing tax funds. And they're willing to lie and cheat to get it. What does that tell you? When they have a history of incompetence proven and being covered up by their staff, which is the only reason I have to come here because she lied and got me kicked out over there.
9:32 - Thank you, Melo, for respecting the time. That ends the public comments. Unless we have anybody online? No, okay, thank you. That'll bring us to consent agenda. If there are any questions for the consent agenda, now would be the time. Otherwise, I'll entertain a motion. - Move to approve the consent agenda as presented. - Second. - Motion has been seconded. Any discussion? Seeing none, all in favor? - Aye. - Any opposed? Passes unanimously. That'll bring us to our presentations on action items. A call for projects, Jennifer.
10:18 - Good afternoon. I'm here to talk about the 2026 regional grant process that we have. We'll just be going over this evening, or I guess this afternoon, just some information about the call for projects
