TriMet to open new MAX station

Written by jrood

Portland, Oregon's TriMet will open a new Rockwood MAX station at the start of service on Friday, May 27. The station is part of the Rockwood in Motion revitalization effort. Construction of the new station began in May 2010 and includes: • Platforms located across from each other, rather than split across E. 188th Avenue • Safer pedestrian crossings • Closed circuit security cameras • New shelters, ticket vending machines, furnishings and public art • Improved safety with additional lighting and open sightlines at station • TransitTracker real-time arrival information displays • Updated signal improvements The project was funded by a $3 million grant from the Oregon Department of Transportation's Connect Oregon II program, $2.15 million from the Gresham Redevelopment Commission and $160,000 from TriMet.
