I really think this makes more sense:
And then have Wilsonville and Salem served by commuter rail via existing tracks running thru Lake Oswego and Milwaukie to Portland. Transfers could then be made at Tualatin between '217 Corridor MAX' (MAX Red Line extension) and commuter rail. |
That's a nice map except that the commuter rail will not continue on to downtown. I'm not even sure if it will actually go to Beaverton TC, if you look on Google Earth, you'll see that the tracks are a third of a mile apart, or half a klick.
I'm almost done creating a layer of all the current and future MAX, Streetcar and CR lines on Google Earth, when I finish I'll post the file on here, but for now I'll just show you guys what I'm working on.
