Title:
Portland Mall Light Rail Project Overview (Long Version)

Description:
Find out about major renovations that will transform Portland's aging transit mall into a vibrant and inviting place for residents, commuters and shoppers. Opening in 2009, a new MAX light rail line to Clackamas County—dubbed the "Green Line"—will run the length of the Mall on 5th and 6th avenues, connecting Union Station and Portland State University. And a host of improvements, including refurbished streets and sidewalks, new transit shelters, better lighting and eye-catching public art, will soon revitalize these signature downtown streets. Portland Mall Light Rail Project is bringing a renewed energy and vitality to 5th and 6th avenues. It's The Next Big Thing Downtown.
