TriMet to open Rockwood MAX station
advertisement
On Friday, the Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon (TriMet) plans to open the new Rockwood MAX station in Gresham, Ore.
Part of a broader revitalization effort under way in Gresham’s Rockwood neighborhood, the project included upgrades to the 25-year-old MAX station. The new station features platforms located across from each other, rather than split across East 188th Avenue; safer pedestrian crossings; closed-circuit security cameras; new shelters, ticket vending machines, furnishings and public art; additional lighting; improved sightlines at stations; real-time arrival information displays; and updated signal improvements, TriMet officials said in a prepared statement.
The $5.3 million project was funded by a $3 million grant from the Oregon Department of Transportation’s Connect Oregon II program; $2.15 million from the Gresham Redevelopment Commission; and $160,000 from TriMet. Construction began in May 2010.
