(Portland, OR) -- The Skidmore Fountain MAX station closed for good on August 24, marking the fourth downtown station shut down in recent years. TriMet says the stop has long struggled with low ridership and sits just two blocks from Old Town/Chinatown, making it redundant. Officials say the closure will help trains move more quickly through downtown and avoid future disruptions tied to the Burnside Bridge replacement. With this move, TriMet says no additional closures are planned.
