Tigard MAX Subway Proposal

TriMet, Metro and the City of Tigard are considering plans for MAX to be extended from downtown Portland to Tigard. Many of the current suggestions infer MAX would be a surface line built within Highway 99W (Pacific Highway) and on Barbur Boulevard. Such a proposal will have massive negative impacts, including loss of traffic lanes - with no alternate routes, loss of businesses, loss of neighborhood bus service, and several years of construction. A subway would eliminate most of the negatives, provide better transit to more places, and would also provide for quality bus service on Barbur Boulevard as well as Capitol Highway.
