About this episode
Portlanders spend a lot of time crossing the 12 local Willamette River bridges. But have you ever wondered: who are the people in charge of lifting the bridges? Why was my day ruined by an unexpected stop in traffic? Today on the show we have answers from Multnomah County Bridge Operator Tod Richards. You can find more information on the effort to improve pedestrian safety near Lents Park here . Is there a Portlander you’d love to hear talk about their unique job?
