I completely agree. In fact, the more grade-separated the better.
On another note, does anyone know if Tri-met has looked into adding "Express" service to any of the new MAX extensions? 4 tracks like New York has probably isn't feasible or needed, but a third track that could be reversed during rush hour times and only hits certain stations (maybe the park&ride and downtown Milwaukie) would save a lot of time and ease loads on the normal trains.
