PORTLAND, Ore. – It has been a week since the City of Portland started fining the federal government for blocking a bike lane with a fence outside the Mark O. Hatfield U.S. Courthouse.
The fence, put up to protect the building from vandalism during continued protests in the surrounding blocks, is still up. The city’s fine is also still growing.
The Portland Bureau of Transportation is charging the feds $500 every 15 minutes that the fence is up.
Federal officers started a phased withdrawal from the city last Thursday, July 30, however, the fence remained in place.
The fence was initially put up Wednesday, July 22 outside the courthouse. The following day, PBOT sent a cease-and-desist letter to the U.S. government, demanding its removal.
Commissioner Chloe Eudaly, who oversees the bureau, says the fence is obstructing a bike lane and the fine will continue to accrue until it's removed.
The current total is $536,000.
The city says it hasn't gotten any formal response from the federal government.
KATU News also reached out to the Department of Homeland Security and we haven't heard back.
i'm thinking Portland will get this money about the same time as we find out the moon really is made of cheese
