It is fun to dream that stuff up. And it's sad to think about all of the rail lines Portland had many decades ago. I remember seeing an old photo of a trolley coming up SW Broadway, I believe. Could you even imagine how great of a transit system we'd have if there had been a way to keep the old system up to date rather than ripping it out and paving over it? Dreams, dreams, dreams, they can be both fun and frustrating at the same time.

My dream system would have trolley's doing a loop along Hawthorne and Belmont, along with Burnside and NW 21st/23rd. I'd love to see some of our local shopping districts be less car friendly and more pedestrian friendly.

Also, this. Are you referring to the east side lines the previous poster envisioned, or are you talking about something else? There's no way to know what "some the east side lines" means.
