City Council Members Support Transit Mall Plan
This morning's Oregonian (sorry, the article is not online) reports that Mayor Potter and Transportation Commissioner Sam Adams support continuing the Transit Mall plan following yesterdays presentation to the steering committee.
Adams' quote:
I have been looking for the fatal flaw that would cause me to recommend a delay, and I have not found it.

Chris,
when you reference "Transit Mall Plan" do you mean the re-route plan or the actual finished mall?

Chris Smith Says:
Finished mall. I don't believe our electeds have weighed in on the detour plan.

I couldn't find a link in the online version, either. But there are a couple of articles about the Clackamas County portion of the extension, and there is also an article on how Forest Grove is officially studying concepts for extending light rail from Hillsboro to Forest Grove:
