Activists (temporarily) take the swing out of TriMet’s swing gates
Activists tried to take the swing out of swing gates.
Note: I'm currently on a family trip and not working normal hours. Email and message responses will be delayed and story and posting volumes here and on our social media accounts will not be at their usual levels until I return to Portland September 4th. Thanks for your patience and understanding. - Jonathan Maus, BikePortland Publisher and Editor
Activists tried to take the swing out of swing gates.
Opposed by bike and walk advocates, a major barrier for wheelchair users.
However, the transit agency installed only two out of eight swing gates it had earlier proposed.
Swing gates coming to SE 11th Ave MAX crossings. At least that’s TriMet’s plan.
It’s back to the drawing board for TriMet.
TriMet has a plan to keep you safe from new Orange Line MAX trains.
