Better answered by this one:

"Blaine Merker: [07:09] The defeat of the freeway led to just a lot of changes in the way that Portland looked at transportation because, well first off there were a bunch of other freeways in line behind the Mt. Hood Freeway. So after it got built they were going to build a bunch more. Another thing is pulling out a whole bunch of money to do other stuff, like the light rail. And put money into a whole bunch of other smaller transportation projects across the city, and that money has only just finished being spent in the last few years. It lasted that long. It means so you can kind of like spend all your money and get this, or you could spend all your money and get a whole bunch of other stuff. And of course that money didn’t just… it didn’t pay for all the light rail of course cos Portland how now a bunch of lines, but it started light rail."

They saw what was happening to the other neighbourhoods in the city and other cities around the country, and were figuring out that this highway wasn’t going to help out the inner city at all, it was going to kill the inner city at the benefit of the suburbs.
