First Test Run for Interstate Max
A light rail car was pulled along the new Interstate Max line Tuesday in the first test o f the new tracks down Interstate Avenue. The train was pulled from the Rose Quarter on a one-mile alignment test
to check clearance as far as North Graham Street. Construction on the Tri-Met light-rail extension from the Rose Quarter to the Expo Center is 75 percent complete.
McDonald’s Gives Up on Site
D ecision ends
drive-thru
controversy on
M artin L uther King
M cD onald's will not be building
a new’ drive-thru restaurant on North
east M artin L uther King Jr. B oule
vard and will instead divert money
for restorations o f existing Portland
locations.
. Although the Planning Bureau ap
proved the proposed design plans
fo ra M cD onald's on the 3300 block
o f King last sum m er, the decision
caused a year and a h a lf long contro
versy for local neighbors.
Hl
Many Boise neighborhood residents
feared the drive-thru would compro
mise public safety by diverting traffic
through quiet residential streets. Other
residents said the restaurant proposal
did not meet the criteria stated in the
Albina Community Plan, which called
for more pedestrian traffic and less auto-
oriented business in the area.
But som e long-tim e neighbors ea
gerly supported M cD onald’s inter
est in the area, because the new site
w ould result in new jobs.
M cDonald’s sales have been in a
state ofdecline. The company reported
its first quarterly loss, $343.8 million,
for the fourth quarter o f2002. This year
thecompany will open 360 new stores,
as opposed to the 1,000 opened last
year.
Giving
our best.
