"The Metropolitan Revolution" and Infrastructure

The New York Times' Kirk Johnson reports on the efforts of Portland, OR and Vancouver, WA to push forward on the Columbia River Crossing, a new bridge project connecting the two cities.    The mayors of the respective cities stepped in after Washington State backed out.

The Times article also highlights a new book chronicling these efforts, The Metropolitan Revolution, by Brookings scholars Bruce Katz and Jennifer Bradley.

Obviously there is no one answer to the challenge of building and rebuilding America's infrastructure. Hopefully, there will be many answers.
