Mass Transit Follies

Amusingly, Tigard officials continue to refer to light rail as "high capacity" despite numerous studies demonstrating that it is, in fact, low capacity. Like everybody else, Tigar will "pay" for the expensive rail and development subsidies via TIF, which will siphon money away from basic services such as schools, police, and fire - while claiming that light rail will "spur development".

Dear WES Riders?

Dear WES riders, 
Have you ever played with the sculpture heads at your WES station? Have you ever met someone or had a nice interaction with someone you didn’t know while playing with the heads? Please let us know! 

The TriMet public art program has been invited to make a presentation to a national arts conference on the WES Interactivators (aka sculpture heads) and we want to share your experiences with the group. 

Please send us your story, pictures or even a video and help us dazzle the artworld! Send to priestem@trimet.org by June 10. First 10 WES riders who have played with the sculptures and respond to this request will receive a free WES Interactivators art catalogue.

And can somebody remind these idiots that PMLR hasn't even begun being physically built yet? We don't need another one when the one in plan hasn't even been built yet.
