"SO THE STREETCAR CATALYZED DEVELOPMENT IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS IT SERVES, INCLUDING 40% OF THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS BUILT IN THE CITY SINCE 2001, SO EVEN IF YOU DON'T RIDE IT IT'S STILL ACHIEVING YOUR GOALS FOR CLEAN AIR, LESS SPRAWL AND REDUCED CONGESTION"
Parents please be diligent and check your kids' candy this year. Just found accessible, zero-emission rail transit shoved inside a 3 Musketeers. No words.

A warming shelter will open at 8pm today at the Oregon Convention Center, accessible by A and B Loop streetcars. No one seeking shelter will be turned away for lack of fare. #pdxtraffic#orwx
