In 2007, the company entered the field of streetcar (tram) manufacturing, after being awarded a contract, in January 2007, by the City of Portland for the provision of a prototype U.S.-manufactured streetcar for the Portland Streetcar system.
The Portland Streetcar, a tramway or tram system (British English) also located in Portland, Oregon
after Portland, Oregon, opened a modern streetcar system in 2001 that was credited with generating significant new property development in what had been decaying areas adjacent to downtown.
Portland, Oregon | Portland | Portland, Maine | Portland Trail Blazers | Isle of Portland | Portland State University | Portland Beavers | South Portland, Maine | Portland Streetcar | Portland Harbour | Portland, Victoria | Portland Opera | Portland cement | William Cavendish-Bentinck, 3rd Duke of Portland | University of Portland | Richard Weston, 1st Earl of Portland | Rene Portland | Portland Street | Portland Center Stage | Portland Art Museum | Earl of Portland | Streetcar suburb | Portland Place | Portland metropolitan area | PCC streetcar | Government of Portland, Oregon | Battle of Portland | Portland stone | Portland-Oregon | Portland Museum of Art |
As a resting point, the park sits closely between many areas of interest to those in the street life, for example the Tri-Met transit mall, the east-west light rail service, the Portland Streetcar service, Powell's Books, and Burnside Street as well as Stark Street, home of Portland's The Roxy, which is open 24 hours most days.
The centerpiece of the plan is a light rail streetcar system (possibly similar to the Portland Streetcar in Oregon) that will travel through the downtown area, connecting the main University of Arizona campus with the Rio Nuevo master plan area on the western edge of downtown.
