Transit directions from Portland Airport and Downtown to the Beaverton Transit Center

• Portland area transit is owned by TRIMET, http://trimet.org

• The MAX lightrail system runs from about 5AM to 1AM. The Red line will take you from the Portland Airport, through downtown Portland, to the Beaverton Transit center, through downtown.
  • The cost is about $3; you must purchase a ticket at the machines at the south end of the lower level baggage claim area.
  • The trains run about every 10 minutes during the day, about every 30 minutes late at night.
  • You can use your MAX ticket as a transfer onto the Trimet bus system.
• Another Trimet train, the BLUE line, runs along the same tracks from downtown Portland to Beaverton
  • Factoid: Leaving downtown Portland, the trains travel through a tunnel deep under the West Hills. This is the deepest transit tunnel in North America, 260 feet below the top of the hill, and one of the steepest uphill grades.
• From downtown, you can take the #54 bus (Beaverton Hillsdale) or #58 bus (Canyon Road) to get to Beaverton.
  • The 58 bus runs up Jefferson and down Market street, about 8 blocks south of and parallel to the Max line. The 58 bus line crosses the MAX line at the Goose Hollow Station, just before the tunnel entrance, so you can catch the westbound bus there.
  • The 58 bus stops are near 96th and near Walker Road. There is a signalled crosswalk at Walker, which means that your heirs can sue the drivers who hit you, unlike 96th without a crosswalk. In both cases, assume the drivers can't see you and don't care - a few pedestrians die every year crossing Highway 8, and the victims always get the blame.
  • It may be less complicated to take MAX all the way to the Beaverton Transit Center.

Walking directions from Beaverton Transit Center to 4180 sw 99th

• We are about 1.6 miles on foot from the transit center. If the bus is more than a 15 minute wait, and the weather is good, walking may be faster. If you want to walk, the most obvious way is south through the Fred Meyer parking lot, then east along the north side Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway. Canyon Road has too many driveways and porn shops.
• If you have a good map, you can go partway east on Canyon to 110th, follow the curve to 109th, walk the sidewalk in front of Target to 107th, walk east on Laurel, over the bridge, and through Kennedy park to 99th. This is complicated, but the most pleasant walking path from the transit center.
• Whichever way you walk, be VERY careful around the 217 onramps.

Bus Directions from Beaverton Transit Center to 4180 sw 99th

• You can take the #54 bus east down Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway, get off at the stop across from McCormick and Schmicks, and walk a quarter mile north on 99th.

• You can also take the 58 bus east from the transit center and walk about half a mile south from Canyon Road (get off at the stop before the Shiloh in, or the stop at 96th).

• Beaverton Drivers Ignore Pedestrians Take care when crossing Canyon Road or Beaverton-Hillsdale, especially at night. The drivers are too busy illegally yacking on their cell phones to pay attention to you.

Bicycle Directions from Portland to 4180 sw 99th

• The best way by road over the west hills is through Forest Park and the Zoo. The route suggested by Google is insane. However you go, the route is very steep.
  • Salmon Street west to King. Jog north to Park street. Very steep. Follow the signs to the Japanese Gardens.
  • From the gardens, travel west on Kingston Drive to the Zoo.
  • From the Zoo, west on Canyon Court to Sylvan.
  • There is a very nice paved bike trail running along the north side of 26, across at Camelot Court, and down the south side to the Ridgewood neighborhood just east of the Cedar Hills shopping center.
  • Go from the west end of the paved bike trail to Scenic Drive, south to Canyon Road and then over to 99th.
• You can take your bicycle on the MAX. Good luck getting it on board at rush hour, though.
• Skyline Boulevard is too narrow and twisty for cars and bicycles. Some suicidal fools still try. Use streets to the west.

Bicycle Directions from Beaverton Transit Center to 4180 sw 99th

• It is probably safest to use 5th street, south of Beaverton Hillsdale.
  • not shown on the map, a little tricky, and slower.
• South on Lombard from the transit center, west on 5th under 217.
• Ride north from 5th street through the Park Plaza West parking lot (across the street from the white Oroweat factory), jog left and right, and end up between the Village Inn and the porn shop.
• A light and crosswalk takes you across Beaverton Hillsdale highway to 107th.
• Travel east on Laurel Street over the bridge to Kennedy Park, head east.
• The southeast corner of Kennedy Park connects to a walkway to 99th street.
• Short, steep uphill, with 4180 on the east side of the street near the crest of the hill.

  • Assume everyone on 99th is travelling to or from happy hour at McCormick and Schmicks, and is drunk.

    • No worries, it's been months since the last shooting on 99th.
      • If you came to shoot somebody, be tidy and pick up your brass afterwards.

Faster Less Safe Bicycle Directions from Beaverton Transit Center

• use the walking from Beaverton Transit Center route through Kennedy Park.

• Be careful, especially crossing 217 onramps!

Some Beaverton Drivers do NOT Ignore Bicyclists. They TARGET Them. Beaverton is a "bronze" bicycling city. That is the lowest rank, below silver (you might survive) and gold (actually pleasant to ride a bike). If there was a lower rank, it would be "lead", and involve helicopters with snipers.
