Portland Streetcar Expansion Considered
(Portland, OR) -- Portland City Council will consider an expansion of Portland Streetcar. A new development is planned near the Montgomery Park building in Northwest Portland. Currently, the streetcar ends near Legacy Good Samaritan Medical Center. If the plan is approved, the line would continue inside the new development. Two-thousand new housing units would be built along with space for businesses. The expansion would cost Portland around 120-million-dollars. The federal government would be asked to pick up between 50 and 80 percent of the cost.
