I favor a seamless transit system for a number of reasons. The chief one being that "outer" southwest Portland is woefully bereft of transit options. At the same time, new public works projects of various kinds seem to be continuously initiated throughout the downtown and eastside neighborhoods. Although the tram is located in what I call the "inner" southwest, it still provides a link to the rest of this "forgotten" area. Who knows, maybe we'll even see sufficient bus service to encourage ridership some day. And perchance we can dream of sidewalks along busy arterials, such as Multnomah Blvd, connecting neighborhoods to local commercial centers.
