TriMet's new people-mover project, WES, (originally slated to be up and running this fall) has now been delayed until at least February of 2009.
TriMet has had to pay out an additional $3 Million to the manufacturer of the heavy rail diesel powered trains planned for use with WES to help the company avoid an impending bankruptcy. "It was all and effort to get the cars. They're the only manufacturer of this kind of car in the country" TriMet spokeswoman Mary Fetch said wednesday in an interview with KPOJ.
It looks like Oregonians get to pay for two corporate bail-outs this year. How progressive.
