Eastside Streetcar Gains Momentum
City considers
• using Broadway
Bridge to link
service
by J aymee R. C uti
T he P ortland O bserver
Functionality and nostalgia may
soon com bine to bring m odern
transportation to northeast P ort
land.
Longtim e residents may rem em
ber a trolley once passing through
the northeast corners o f the city. If
federal dollars com e through, the
Portland Streetcar could serve new
parts o f the city.
A m ong a $2.5 million federal ap
propriation, $29(),(XX) is earm arked
to plan and analyze routes and reno
vations needed to extend the west-
side streetcar o v er the B roadw ay
Bridge and add four miles o f service
through Lloyd and Central Eastside
Industrial districts.
The proposed extension would
serve the Rose Q uarter Arena, the
O regon C onvention C enter and The
O regon M useum o f Science and
Industry.
T he project should pick up m o
m entum quickly, according to the
city spokesm an Scott Farris.
T he com plete Streetcar ex ten
sion com es with an estim ated $37.5
m illion construction cost.
“ W e still h av en 't figured out
how to do that yet," says Farris, but
adds that a variety o f sources, in
cluding another federal appropria
tion could foot that bill.
The Streetcar expansion, Farris
said, is part o f the c ity 's broad
public transportation vision, w hich
may som eday include w ater taxis
on the W illam ette River.
“A num ber o f years ago, P ort
land had an extensive streetcar
network serving east Portland. Over
tim e, m ass transit was no longer en
vogue and everything w as being
done forthe autom obile. Now w e’re
going back to that public tran sp o r
tation goal and the Streetcar is part
o f a much broader strategy that will
serv e P o rtla n d ’s tra n sp o rta tio n
needs o v er the long term .”
