Barbur MAX would be a godsend. We need more non-car transportation infrastructure to be able to access the west side of the Metro area.

In addition to a single Barbur MAX line, it could branch off at several points - I think bvpcvm makes a good point in having one section hit PCC; another branch could break off at the Safeway at Barbur to run along the former rail line along Multnomah Blvd and Oleson Rd. to Washington Square. This could help foster higher density infill development in SW Portland/Beaverton. Thoughts?


This could really help break people from their auto dependency in this highly auto-dependent part of the Metro area. I might even have reason to get out there and do shopping and stuff if there was reliable, frequent, high level of service MAX service out in that area.
