TRIMET Westside Bike and Ride Stations
PORTLAND, OREGON
THE TRIMET WESTSIDE BIKE AND RIDE FACILITIES ARE INTENDED TO FACILITATE LINKED TRIPS VIA BIKE AND LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT BETWEEN DOWNTOWN PORTLAND AND WASHINGTON COUNTY STATIONS, INCLUDING BEAVERTON.
The bicycle shelters are partly enclosed and secured for high-capacity, long-term bike storage, and outdoor spaces for short-term bicycle parking. The facilities are designed to provide storage for bikes that are currently being carried onto trains. Fewer bikes on trains provides more capacity for riders. The Portland station is located adjacent to the Goose Hollow MAX Station, which is also the first MAX station in Portland for eastbound riders. The facility will accommodate 48 secured bikes and 16 covered locations with pedestrian access TriMet has agreed 74
to buy the site area from the First Methodist Church of Portland and provide it for the public right-of- way. The Beaverton shelter resides at the Beaverton Creek MAX station, near the Nike World Campus. The facility can house 50 secured and 50 unsecured bicycles. Both facilities are based on a kit-of-parts approach that provides quick installation and ease of maintenance, longevity and sustainability. Further benefits include integrated lighting, visibility, security features, repair stands, vending machines and information kiosks, while also meeting stormwater treatment requirements.
