THE STRATEGIC FINANCIAL PLAN
TRIMET ACTUALLY PUT OUT A BUS ALERT ON A SUNDAY
This is the alert--> CLICK HERE
And this is how each line is doing LINE 33 LINE 35 and LINE 21.
So the information they put out was not very accurate.

MAX RIDERS ARE TREATED LIKE CATTLE
They are herded in and out of trains, made to wait without explanation,and subject to random inspections. In my opinion they are treated just like cattle are.

BART MGMT IS SO COMPARABLE TO TRIMET MGMT ITS SCARY
BART authorities have dragged their feet, hired a pricey anti-labor negotiator and spread misinformation about the unions' agenda.
“We want [the public] to understand that the district is working very hard to reach a fair contract for workers,” Rice said. “But one where we can make investments in the future in the system that are necessary. We need new train cars. We need a new train control system. And we need a new maintenance facility.”
The move implies that maintaining BART is thrown on the backs of workers (exactly what Trimet is doing by trying to link restoration of frequent service to a new contract)
“We will get a fair contract,” Castelli said. “And SEIU 1021 and I believe ATU as well, we’re in this for the long haul, and we’re willing to do what we have to do. This is our Wisconsin. This is our Michigan. And the progressives in the Bay Area ought to wake up and see that and join us because we’re in this thing to win.”

THE WAR AGAINST WORKERS
... seems to be that since all workers are getting screwed, their
workers should get screwed too. Specifically, the agency is making a
huge deal out of the fact that its workers are ONLY paying $92 a month
for the health coverage, as if they are fleecing the taxpayers by this.
Instead, it wants workers to pay 10% of healthcare costs. This is a
classic 21st century corporate negotiating plan, turning everyone who
has seen their economic stability fall apart against those who have
managed to hold on to a standard late 20th century union contract
package. The anti-union flyer also seems to think that people will be
outraged that BART workers want more safety lighting and more restrooms
in underground stations, which both seem like great ideas to me.

Scene of the Auto v. WES wreck
I will agree, this is not a standard installation so a motorist unfamiliar with the area might be a little confused here. But I don't see it as a "problem" that needs to be fixed. Just prior to the intersection is a warning sign advising that there is an intersection with a railroad crossing:
Placing a standard railroad signal here would be difficult, because the through lane on Lombard southbound is not affected by the railroad track. So a traffic island would need to be constructed to place a standard railroad crossing/gate just for the left turn lane. And such signals are pretty rare if they exist at all. I think the only real "improvement" would be to install a left turn signal with the near-side signal (where the railroad wig-wag signal is), but that would require installing a longer span arm and possibly reduce clearance over the railroad track.
Ultimately, this was just a case of a confused motorist who didn't know where they were going - at some point, no amount of warning devices, signals, signs, etc. will stop stupid people. It's just like people who drive through lowered railroad gates. And ultimately it was a very minor collision. Ironically - it was the City of Beaverton that paid millions of dollars in the early 1980s to re-route the Oregon Electric mainline away from downtown and created the St. Marys lead to the west of town, eliminating one of two railroad tracks through downtown...only to essentially rebuild it all.

When Trimet says they have 'no public records', how do we know they are being truthful?
