Route and Stations

Route

In 2008, jurisdictional partners and the public examined alternatives for the Portland-Milwaukie Light Rail Transit Project. Numerous end points, station locations, track alignments and bridge alignments were studied and considered. In July 2008, a Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) was approved.

The 2008 LPA route includes:

an extension of light rail from Portland State University south
2 new stations on the west side of the Willamette River
The Portland-Milwaukie Light Rail Bridge spanning the river from OSHU’s future South Waterfront campus to OMSI
8 new stations on the east side of the Willamette, beginning at OMSI and proceeding south through inner Southeast Portland and Milwaukie to north Clackamas County
a south terminus on Park Avenue in Oak Grove

Stations

Design for station areas approved in the 2008 LPA advanced during the year-long Preliminary Engineering phase, which ended on March 31, 2010, and continues into Final Design, which is scheduled to be complete in winter 2012.. Details of much of the planning and design work can be found in the project Conceptual Design Report and in the presentations made at Community Meetings held in 2011.
