Date: 04/14/08 07:46 Re: Portland transit stuff, and an incident Author: Macster I stayed at the Holiday Inn a few blocks from Orenco Road station. Very comfortable but hidden hotel. Which is nice, it stays very quiet.
Excellent, Excellent photos Chris!! Brian Date: 04/14/08 07:49 Re: Portland transit stuff, and an incident Author: stone23 Great presentation,
So our little Beaverton bridge finally leads to something!! Date: 04/14/08 14:15 Re: Portland transit stuff, and an incident Author: stone23 I have stayed at the Embassy Suites near the Airport. They either drive you to and from the Airport Max station or you can walk to the first station outside the Airport

I especially enjoyed the panorama of the intersection in Beaverton, as well as the shots at the Washington Park station. Date: 04/14/08 18:14 Re: Portland transit stuff, and an incident Author: jdb I stayed at a Super 8 during the NRHS convention, out toward Gresham. 181st and Burnside. MAX is on Burnside.
The downtown area of Portland is FREE on MAX and TRI-MET(bus). If you are coming in by train you can take the #77 right to LaQuinta, Red Lion, or Doubletree and be in the free zone. The #77 is right in front of the station. You can cross Broadway to the Post Office and catch the #9 (free zone) which goes right past Embassy Suits. The Doubletree and Red Lion are right on MAX. LaQuinta is about three blocks. The Downtown Embassy Suits is about three blocks from the Old Town/Chinatown MAX stop. Hey Chris, when can I ride that new line? I've seen the construction in Beaverton and it looks pretty close...... jb Date: 04/14/08 22:02 Re: Portland transit stuff, and an incident Author: F40PHR231 jdb Wrote:

TriMet's pushed it back to October or November of this year -- It was originally planned to have it on Westside MAX's tenth anniversary on the weekend of September 13th, but that announcement disappeared quickly. They've even got the schedules posted already! http://www.trimet.org/wes/index.htm Date: 04/15/08 08:16 Re: Portland transit stuff Author: PumpkinHogger Great stuff Chris, better than an article in PTJ!
The webmaster should pay you to go round the country and do transit reporting! |
