I stopped by the Gateway/99th Ave transit center to see what the new normal looks like as the northern terminus of the MAX Green Line light rail, which used to continue to downtown Portland until yesterday. Riders will have to catch a Blue or Red Line train to downtown, which stop on different platforms. I know how to handle that because Gateway is where I catch trains to downtown - but I think a lot of people will miss an earlier Red Line by waiting for the next Blue Line at the platform where the Green Line dropped them off.
After some pictures there, I rode around without a planned route but generally heading eastward toward Rockwood (far far east Portland near 175th Ave) and into Gresham. (Gresham tends to get lost in suburbia next to Portland but is the 4th largest city in Oregon.)
This ride included parts of some bike paths:
* I-205 path from Gateway to Main Street
* Wy'East Way (indigenous name for Mount Hood) in Gresham
* Gresham-Fairview Trail from Gresham to Fairview
* I-84 path from Gresham to East Portland
