Should this be Transportation in Portland, Oregon? That's the category name. Also, both mention things outside of the actual city (but in the metro area)--Jason McHuff 04:51, 13 September 2005 (UTC) What about Troutdale Airport? Its a Portland airport far more than McNary is. --Jason McHuff 06:05, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

agreed; i think troutdale should be included there. i might just go add it. i think mcnary was put in like it was because (apparently) it is considered for offloading pdx air traffic or something. doesnt mean troutdale should be left off though. i should dig up some info on the seaport as well, that should get mention!

[edit] History

What about an historical section. Portland once had the most extensive commuter rail system in the western U.S. The Sellwood neighborhood was specifically built as a working-class neighborhood because with rail, people could get from there to the SE industrial area to work.

I think this is an important topic. Any discussion? Cranialsodomy 23:41, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. Disucssion of Crown Point or whatever it's called would be cool too. Viper007Bond 04:39, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
