<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">. . . Director Park has shown what intelligent programming and around the clock security can accomplish. Holladay Park next to the Lloyd Center is on its way to joining the
list of Portland destination parks. O’Bryant Square is, well, the counterpoint, an example of what happens when a city park is badly designed and allowed to determine its own fate.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">You may not be familiar with the economic theory of induced demand. But, if you’ve spent any amount of time suffering through traffic at the Wilsonville Road-I-5 interchange,
you’ve experienced it. A $21.5 million project added capacity to the critical intersection three years ago. That increased capacity, in turn, “induced” more people to use the road, resulting in the same kind of traffic snarls the original project was intended
to relieve.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
