Wow, That’s going to be a Major Mess during Renovations. 4 Months of Disruptions, Shuttle Buses will be serving longer then 3 Weeks. Rebuilding Platforms & adding a 2nd Track to Keep the Light Rail Service On Time. Especially Grade Separation Project, on to Swap Out At Grade Railroad Crossings into Bridges will take up to One to Two Years when Federally Government gets Approved. We notice that Railroad Crossings on 185th Time Travels are not going to be Good at All with Red Line Extension. Every 2 Minutes when Train Arrives & Timer on Traffic Signal is Very Bad on Baseline Intersections. Light Rail Bridge over 185th was supposed to be Build before Blue Line Extension back in September 12th 1998, after widening 185th to 5 Lanes, It used to be a Crazy Stop Sign too, they totally leveled out mess up Grade Separation. Instead they created a Jug Handle Steeping Stone Drive from Eastbound Baseline onto Northbound 185th. Left Turn Signal was Prohibited since 1997. Not Good to have Railroad Crossings on a Frequently Service crossing a Busy Street. It needs to be Grade Separated. It’ll be Very Expensive but it’s Worth It. I don’t like getting stuck at a Railroad Crossing more then 5 Minutes. Gotta keep the Traffic Flowing. Construction on Grade Separation Project to Light Rail flyover 185th is expected to Start in 2025. Blue Line will Temporarily End at Merlo Station. Shuttle Buses will serve Closed Stations between Merlo Station to Hatfield. No MAX Service in Hillsboro for a Long Time Approximately up to a Full Year to 2 Years. Bridges are Very Important to have, It’ll Ease Congestion & Improving Safety. We will announce Grade Separation Project when it gets closer after Red Line Extension in September 2024.
We also need to Grade Separate 82nd @ Airport Way cause the Stop Light is Very Long & Railroad Crossing causes Disruptions & it’s Dangerous. By lifting 82nd over the Tracks & Highway with Diamond Interchange & New Exit Ramps on both directions on Airport Way. In order to Keep the Traffic Flowing & Easing Congestion.
Another Trimet boondoggle. I'd rather see Trimet build platforms with turnstiles to keep the freeloaders out. Hey, at least you have all those employers kicking in their Trimet tax to pay for boondoggles like this.
I like the idea of some sort of system to ensure those riding are the ones paying. that will be help improve the moneys being made. I also think if they did a better job of expanding lines besides the blue line would make it better. maybe IF WASHINGTON STATE ever gets off their butts a red line extension to downtown vancouver.. an extension all the way down to Salem as an express of the green line.. Maybe a connection further south to happy valley beyond the mall. If they first built the rail lines and second it with large developement of high rises and high density affordable housing, we could see a boom of the PDX metro area.IF Portland were to start attracting more of silicon valley to move up, larger tech companies, maybe biotech pharma companies they would benefit local economies, help pay for roads, schools etc. I used to live in the SF BAY AREA and while it got too expensive those companies tapped into local colleges and school for their talent further improving education standards
I hope your shuttle busses accommodate luggage better than the May shut down.
What happens at the Parkrose Transit Center? Do I need to use a shuttle to Gateway now?

This kinda made everything worse in my opinion

Turnstiles make it difficult to get luggage, strollers, and other things through. The freeloaders are a very low priority.
