Transit Mall Revitilization Open House

I was able to leave work early yesterday and stop by the second of TriMet's Open Houses for the Transit Mall Revitilization. The open house was held in the board room at the Port of Portland Building next to the Chinese Gardens. Inside the boardroom was about 7-10 displays showing various aspects of the proposed revitilization. There was also a small theater area were a TriMet employee showed the virtual "fly-throughs" of two of the three proposed MAX alignments. In the center of the room was a large table covered with a map showing the entire run of the transit mall along with the proposed MAX stations. Those attending the open house were encouraged to leave there comments on this map, fill out a comment card, or simply talk to one of the many city and TriMet employees circulating throught the area.
