New MAX Rail Line Opens Saturday, Bringing “Green” to Clackamas

The MAX train green line opens to Clackamas this Saturday. Read more about the history of the line’s development in a special feature article published today in the Portland Tribune. Learn all about the celebratory activities at TriMet’s homepage.

Like all MAX line openings, the train is expected to spur additional development along the rail line, including the development and increased desirability of multifamily properties.

The Portland Tribune recently ran a story regarding local city leaders arguing over who should be first to get the next MAX line. The piece is available here at: Cities Fight to Avoid Being Left at the Station. Currently, the next lines are set to run from Portland to Milwaukie (opening 2015) and top priorities for new lines include from Portland to Sherwood along Hwy 99 and from Portland to Gresham via SE Powell.
