  • Service Alerts – Digital Displays
    Service Alerts – Digital Displays TriMet has digital displays at most MAX Light Rail stations to provide real-time arrival information as well as service disruption/delay messaging. Some of the displays are flat screens as shown to the right. Others are reader boards. Due to space, the messages need to be as condensed as possible. While we regularly post the same alert at stations along a line, during the Rose Quarter MAX Improvements we provided more specific alerts by geographical locations and even individual stations. This was because the service plan, while best for the majority of riders, was complex and posed communications challenges. MAX Blue Line only displays MAX Blue Line disrupted and frequency reduced.

The Chicago Style is known for steel-frame construction, often clad with terra cotta; grid style windows; and, a distinct base, mid-section, and “cap” with ornamental detailing. Each of these features are exemplified with the Alderway Building. Formerly the Pantages Theater - and later, the Music Box, the steel frame of the self-proclaimed “fire proof” building was retained by Clausen & Clausen during its extensive late 1920s remodel for F.G. “Fred” Meyer. Clausen & Clausen, transplants to Portland from Chicago shortly after the Lewis & Clark Exposition of 1905, were also the architects of the Heathman and Roosevelt Hotels, several Fred Meyer retail stores, and many other prominent Portland buildings of the 1920s-1940s. Today, the building houses three stories of office space above four ground floor retail spaces. Existing retail tenants include OpusBank, Kassab Jewelers, and Zelda’s Shoe Bar. There is currently one 1,545 square foot retail space available fronting SW Alder Street that features full restaurant venting with a hood as well as near-full height windows across the length of the storefront.

  • DRAFT January 2020
    DRAFT January 2020 TriMet: A History of Innovation and Service From our beginning, TriMet has served as a leader and innovator in public transit. We have delivered many “firsts” in our 50-year drive to strengthen the communities and the metropolitan region we serve. 1969 Private transit service in the Portland area faced flagging ridership and losses—threatening cuts in service. Civic and business leaders came together to find a solution and by the end of the year, TriMet was born. The first TriMet buses began service on December 1. 1973 TriMet identifies strategies to increase bus ridership by simplifying and concentrating downtown service on the 5th and 6th Avenue Transit Mall and expanding its bus fleet. 1975 TriMet begins service that eventually becomes TriMet LIFT, well in advance of requirements by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. 1982 A grid of bus lines with some running every 15-minutes or less all day is introduced to Portland’s eastside. This provided for better cross-town direct trips without having to transfer through downtown. It set the stage for future Frequent Service and transit network improvements. 1986 The eastside Banfield Light Rail Project begins service as MAX. 1998 Westside MAX Blue Line introduces low-floor, easy-entry light rail vehicles to North America. 2001 Airport MAX Red Line (the West Coast’s first train to plane) and the modern Portland Streetcar opens. 2004 Interstate MAX Yellow Line opens ahead of schedule with improvements to connecting bus service. TransitTrackerTM - one of the first real-time arrival information systems in the nation - starts.
