Portland Mall Light Rail Project Overview (Long Version)

Find out about major renovations that will transform Portland's aging transit mall into a vibrant and inviting place for residents, commuters and shoppers. Opening in 2009, a new MAX light rail line to Clackamas County—dubbed the "Green Line"—will run the length of the Mall on 5th and 6th avenues, connecting Union Station and Portland State University. And a host of improvements, including refurbished streets and sidewalks, new transit shelters, better lighting and eye-catching public art, will soon revitalize these signature downtown streets. Portland Mall Light Rail Project is bringing a renewed energy and vitality to 5th and 6th avenues. It's The Next Big Thing Downtown.

I really hope Columbus is paying attention to cities like Portland when we design our own light rail!

streetcars and light rail transit are the way to go! to the transit users they are much more attractive than the polluting & noisy diesel buses.

I´m glad that some US cities are clever and they build new public transport systems! I think deleting tram systems in 50s was very stupid decision!

That's what I hear! Get this: I live in Milwaukee, no smaller than Portand. They have no light rail or any rapid transit system. Can you believe it? Milwaukee's public transportation sucks ass.
