TRIMESS CUTTING ROUTES AND BENEFITS-BUT EXPANDING MANAGERS OFFICES

TriMet    is considering moving 248 administrators and other staffers who work at the transit agency's Southeast 17th Avenue headquarters to a downtown site near Portland State University.

TriMet's board will consider a measure that would move staffers to Harrison Square, at 1800 S.W. First Avenue, at its Wednesday board meeting. The move could cost at least $17.4 million, according to Business Journal reporter Andy Giegerich.
