The city council unanimously gave the city the greenlight to sue TriMet back in March. According to that resolution, a city-hired engineer found multiple problems that cropped up after the construction firm finished the job in 2015.
City attorneys allege the buck should have stopped with TriMet; they contend leaders at the transportation agency failed to oversee the construction firm and ensure the work was up to their standards. They are suing both TriMet and Stacy and Witbeck for negligence and breach of contract.
Stacy and Witbeck did not respond to a request for comment. A TriMet spokesperson declined to comment citing pending litigation.
