Info
The Civic Drive station is a MAX light rail station in Gresham, Oregon, on the Blue Line and is the 23rd stop eastbound on the current Eastside MAX Branch. The station opened on December 1, 2010.The foundations for the station's platforms were laid in 1996, as part of a planned Gresham Civic neighborhood development included in a 1993 Downtown Gresham Plan. Due to a lack of finance and slower-than-expected development of the surrounding property, TriMet decided not to finish the station at that time. Its completion was postponed indefinitely, and the foundations were fenced off for safety reasons.
A March 2009 TriMet report included plans to resume construction of the station in summer 2009, for opening in fall 2010. Groundbreaking for the station occurred in May 2010; the total cost for the station is $3 million, including a $1.76 million construction budget.
The station was located in TriMet fare zone 3 from its opening in 2010 until September 2012, at which time TriMet discontinued all use of zones in its fare structure.
