Metro documents released this week show updated maps of possible paths for a light-rail or bus-rapid-transit corridor from Portland to Tualatin, and city and regional officials had them on display Wednesday night in Tigard. Tualatin residents can view the maps tonight at the Tualatin Police Department at 6 p.m.
Metro and the other Southwest Corridor Plan partners are looking for the public's input as they continue to narrow down the options. The newest maps show the paths still on the table, and the paths slated for "early removal" -- the ones that don't make as much sense because of financial or logistical obstacles.
The new maps are below (click "View full size" below each picture to enlarge). Larger versions, with explanations of the benefits and drawbacks of each option, are available in PDF form at Metro's website.

The routes in red have been rejected. There are more maps in the Oregonian, but the Metro website has all the maps and reading material about the SW Corridor Plan. The Corridor routes are still in the design phase but are being shopped around for citizen comment. On the SW Corridor Plan Area map, Parts of Lake Oswego are included - Kruse Way and the SW Employment District (West end of Boones Ferry Rd., currently the Industrial Zone.
