Rose Quarter Transit Center (MAX station)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rose Quarter Transit Center station is a station in the MAX Light Rail system served by the Blue and Red lines. It is located under Interstate 5 in the Lloyd District area of Portland, Oregon and is the 8th stop eastbound on the Eastside MAX as well as the first stop after crossing the Willamette River. Two hundred yards to the north-northwest is the Interstate/Rose Quarter station of the MAX Yellow Line.
The station is located at 47 NE Holladay Street where it intersects NE Wheeler Avenue. The station serves the Rose Quarter area, which includes the Rose Garden Arena and the Memorial Coliseum. The station has three platforms—two side platforms plus an additional island platform and track used as train storage and during special events. Just to the east, there is a spur to the Portland Vintage Trolley car barn located to the north of the platforms. Bus service from the surrounding stops serves much of North and Northeast Portland. Because most of the platform length is under the freeway overpass and the Rose Quarter is a major transit hub, this station can be very loud after events in the Rose Quarter neighborhood.
The Rose Quarter Transit Center is located within Fareless Square, which provides free service to downtown and the eastern portion of the Lloyd District.
