It actually makes a lot of sense to run light rail out to Forest Grove. If I were to plan that route, I would have it start in Forest Grove, stop in Cornelius, then stop in downtown Hillsboro. From there have it go down and follow the TV Highway through Aloha to Beaverton, at that point it could run along Farmington and stop in downtown Beaverton. It would then head to 217 and run up to Canyon Rd where it would follow that road all the way to 26 where it would enter a tunnel and connect in with the zoo tunnel and head into downtown.
That would make for a good new line or a real extension of the Red Line.
