Southwest Service Enhancement Plan Draft Vision for Future Service 

Over the last year we have had conversations with community members about improving bus service, bus stops and street crossings in Southwest Portland, Durham, King City, Lake Oswego, Sherwood, Tigard, Tualatin and West Linn. We’ve also been looking at where people live and where they want to go to uncover new opportunities for transit service. Based on what we’ve learned, we have developed a long-range vision for transit called the Southwest Service Enhancement Plan Draft Vision,

The draft vision adds new bus lines, reorients existing lines, increases service frequency, and includes new community transit for more and better connections from Southwest to jobs and service centers in the rest of the region.

Note that the draft vision does not include potential high-capacity transit now being studied by Metro in the Southwest Corridor Plan. When the Southwest Corridor Plan reaches conclusions on a locally preferred alternative, the vision for the Southwest Service Enhancement Plan will be updated to complement future transit service in the Southwest Corridor.

• Change Line 37-Lake Grove route to serve Kruse Way connecting Downtown Lake Oswego, Kruse Way and Tigard Transit Center and add trips.
