Trimet attempting to get in on the Google publicity

Pretty pathetic if you ask me

Portland posted its response to Google’s checklist late Tuesday or early Wednesday, more than a day ahead of schedule. A couple highlights:
On the utility cabinet issue, Portland told Google that “cabinets are allowed,” but that restrictions may exist on siting, visual mitigation and the size of the cabinets.
And TriMet, not formally a part of the city of Portland, made a submission to Google anyway.
“TriMet believes that its existing conduit runs and associated facilities could serve as a plug and play environment for a Google Fiber ring (or backbone) and hut sites,” the transit agency wrote.
TriMet said it has 80 miles of fiber running under MAX light rail lines, plus park-and-ride sites that could be suitable for Google’s fiber huts.
