i was kinda dumb and didnt ride the bart when i was in the bay area, just rode the caltrain. anyways, if there was a subway in portland could it connect to the existing tunnel that goes through the west hills?
someone probably talked about it in here but there so many pages
thinking about it i think it wouldnt work. that train goes fast through that tunnel and it has to be real smooth. too much of a diference in elevation. also by the time theres a new tunnel it wouldnt make sense to hook it to a old one
but portland is running out of space? what are they going to do in like 50 years? probably have to have two downtowns
im not that much of a downtown guy and i dont even live in portland anymore. i think its interesting. if things took off in portland and was a futuristic city, id be happy. my family goes all the way back to the oregon trail. sorry bunch of usless text
