Vancouver Light Rail Alignment Open Houses

February 2010

The City of Vancouver, C-TRAN and the Columbia River Crossing project held two open houses in February to provide local residents, property owners and businesses with updated information about the proposed light rail route in Vancouver.

The open houses featured information about the light rail route, benefits to the community, and effects to properties along the route. CRC, the City of Vancouver and C-TRAN are working to ensure that the light rail system helps support the community’s vision for downtown development.

As part of the CRC project, Portland’s 52-mile regional MAX system will be extended 2.9 miles to Clark College in Vancouver. Currently, trains are expected to travel north on Broadway and south on Washington. Project planners are studying two options for east-west travel on one street: McLoughlin Boulevard or 17th Street.
