Rose City/Center Max - Sullivans Gulch 14 May

In CENTER we have the best options for public transportation.
But did you know soon we will have a new mixed use trail to downtown?

This gives residents a chance to improve our access to the MAX and proposed trail. The city of Portland planning and transportation would like your input on how to improve our hood within 1/2 mile of the station. I hope all of you can make it down to the MAX station on Wednesday the 14th of May to give your opinion on how to improve pedestrian access. Why not take a moment now to make a short list of what improvements you would like to see and forward them on to tom.armstrong@ci.portland.or.us or send them to us and we'll do our best to get your voice heard.

Think about the possiblities, bike boxes, bike parking, bioswales, curb extensions, tree plantings, waste recepticles, lighting, neighborhood plaque, parking, sidewalks, crosswalks, sound barrier wall for the station platform, benches, park space. The possibilities are endless and the more neighborhood involvement the better. While we are at it, let's change our station name to reflect our Hoods Rose City Park and CENTER conjoined the ROSE CITY/ CENTER MAX STATION

The Northeast 60th Avenue station is a light rail station on the Blue Line and Red Line of the Metropolitan Area Express (MAX) in Portland, Oregon. It is the 13th stop eastbound on the Eastside MAX, and is located on the boundary between the Center and Rose City Park neighborhoods.
The station is at the intersection of NE 60th Ave. and Interstate 84, located above a Union Pacific line, but below street level. This station is connected to NE 60th Ave. by a series of stairs and elevators. The single island platform is separated from the westbound lanes of the freeway by only a low wall and the eastbound MAX tracks, causing the platform level of this station to be noisy most hours of the day.
