MAX: Green line opens in Clackam
Continued from MAX, Page 1
TriMet also showed its com
mitment to supporting public
artists by putting numerous
works of art from local artists
at many of the mall stations.
On opening day, each sta
tion was having its own small
celebration unique to the area
and the new art at each reflects
that. Approximately $750,000
was allocated to fund the mall
art program.
The Green Line has come
just in time for the winter
months and may make travel
