The Rockwood/East 188th Avenue station is a MAX light rail station in Gresham, Oregon. It serves the Blue Line and is the 22nd stop eastbound on the current Eastside MAX branch. (It was the 20th on the original line in 1986)
The station is at the intersection of East 188th Avenue and Burnside Street, within the Rockwood neighborhood. Until 2010, this station had staggered side platforms; the Westbound platform has temporarily merged with the Eastbound while major renovations to the former take place. The new platform, which will have modern fixtures, improved security features, and 58-foot high artwork, will serve both East and Westbound trains. It opened in May 2011.
Famous quotes containing the words east and/or avenue:
“From the east to western Inde,
No jewel is like Rosalind.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Play is a major avenue for learning to manage anxiety. It gives the child a safe space where she can experiment at will, suspending the rules and constraints of physical and social reality. In play, the child becomes master rather than subject.... Play allows the child to transcend passivity and to become the active doer of what happens around her.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
