Take the Streetcar Survey
by Trace
The Portland Office of Transportation (PDOT) is currently drafting a Streetcar System Plan, with the intent of creating a citywide network. The purpose of the Streetcar System Plan (SSP) District Working Group process that is currently underway is to engage the public in the beginning of a long-range planning effort that will identify future streetcar corridors with the highest potential in a long-term implementation strategy. Specifically, the goal of the NE District Working Group process is to identify where community support for potential streetcar corridors is located in NE Portland. Currently, volunteers like us are doing community outreach to gauge the level of support in Northeast Portland along various corridors such as Broadway/Weidler, MLK Blvd, Alberta St, and 82nd Ave. The city has stated that new streetcar corridors will be prioritized in areas where community support exists.http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=7QjGufQZvkQ5cFawdRA6CA_3d_3d

Streetcar's usefulness is questioned again
by shooter
The Portland Tribune has a pretty good story today asking if the streetcar is a tool or a toy. I believe it's a useful tool, but I also understand that it is not THE solution for every situation. I think a well-integrated public transit system is one that incorporates bus, streetcar, and light rail. Rather than focusing on one option, perhaps the city should be studying the major transit corridors to determine which option is best suited for the situation and develop an integrated plan.
What do you think?

Take the Streetcar Survey (NW closes 7/15)
by pearlgirl
The Streetcar System Plan (SSP) is a big picture look at the City of Portland's transportation network and how streetcars can fit into this network in the future. The goal of the SSP is to identify an interconnected citywide system of streetcar corridors integrated with the City's transportation and land use network. The Portland Streetcar System Plan can play a key role in shaping the City by: reinforcing walkable and economically diverse neighborhoods and vibrant main streets encouraging sustainable and equitable development and infrastructure supporting reduction of vehicle trips supporting greater accessibility, housing options, employment, and economic development WHAT DO YOU THINK? Help the city prioritize potential future streetcar corridors by taking a streetcar survey for the area where you live or work.
