Here’s the project sheet from trimet’s website. I had no idea that they were also expanding the red line out to the fair complex in Hillsboro. Also looks like the red line will have it’s own platform at Gateway instead of sharing the platform with blue and green lines. Which allows the red line to use two tracks instead of the single track that exists now to get to the airport from Gateway TC. I’m not sure how they plan to increase times though when there are so many trains on the shared line through downtown Portland already.
