Because safety issues have emerged as a central issue with the study of light rail alternatives in the Portland to Milwaukie Corridor, a Safety and Security Task Force will be created to closely examine these issues during the conceptual design and alternatives definition of the project. 

This approach will offer the community and safety professionals an opportunity to voice concerns and provide input about station area locations and design options at a point in the process when changes can still be made.

Those interested in this issue are encouraged to participate and will be asked to commit to attending the six monthly meetings, expected to begin in September. Task Force members will tour Interstate MAX stations and meet with stakeholders, learn TriMet’s current safety and security strategies, and study and evaluate potential station locations in Milwaukie.

For more information, please call Metro’s Karen Withrow at (503) 797-1932. The task force application can be downloaded here: Word, PDF.
