The Red Line was built in an unusual and innovative partnership with
private enterprise, with the contemplation that massive building just to the
east of Portland International would take place. Airport MAX opened one day before
the tragedy of
September 11, 2001. The resulting economic impact delayed much of the
proposed development.
There is still much land for sale in
this area, but there has also been substantial construction of big-box
and other shopping facilities nearby. After the time of this photo,
the Cascades station opened, considerably after the other stops on the line,
to serve the new activities in the district. |
