Over the past year, I’ve had the privilege of being part of?TriMet’s A Better Red project, and let me tell you—it’s been an exhilarating journey! - Supporting Through Challenges: As the project unfolded, we’ve been in the thick of things—navigating major service disruptions, coordinating construction impacts within the agency, and planning for collaboration during major concurrent project work. It’s been a dynamic role, and I’ve witnessed firsthand the dedication of TriMet, the project team, and the contractor. - Gateway North MAX Station: A Milestone: This week, we celebrated a significant milestone—the opening of the?Gateway North MAX station. It’s the first new station in?nine years, and it’s a game-changer for our community. Commuters now have new access to this vital transit hub and Gateway Green, and can have a more reliable connection throughout Portland Metro! - Reliability Boost: The icing on the cake? MAX Red Line trains are now cruising on a?double set of tracks?between the Gateway area and the re-built Portland International Airport station. This improvement enhances reliability across the entire MAX system. - TriMet’s Resilience: But let’s talk about resilience. In January, Mother Nature threw us a curveball—a?winter weather event?that coated the region and our construction site in a thick layer of ice. Did it slow us down? Not for long! TriMet and the contractor rallied, got the system back on track, and dove into construction. - Looking Ahead: As we gear up for one more service disruption to complete critical tie-in work at Fair Complex/Hillsboro Airport, I’m excited about the next phase. Come August 2024, all of this work and new improvements will be handed over to TriMet, ushering in full revenue service. - Kudos to TriMet and Partners: The complexity of concurrent project work, the challenges overcome, and the unwavering commitment—it’s a testament to what collaboration can achieve in this regionally significant project. Let’s keep the momentum going!
