TriMet is expanding parking options with the opening of its newest Park & Ride lot for riders Monday, Aug. 1, in Milwaukie near the MAX Orange Line. The Elks Milwaukie-Portland Lodge Park & Ride at 13121 SE McLoughlin Blvd., will feature up to 150 parking spaces.
TriMet has entered into a three-year agreement with the Elks Milwaukie-Portland Lodge, whose lot is adjacent to the highly used SE Park Ave Parking Garage, which has 402 spaces. If that lot happens to be full, riders will have an easy alternative right next door at the Elks Milwaukie-Portland Lodge Park & Ride.
Spaces are reserved for TriMet riders at the Elks Milwaukie-Portland Lodge Park & Ride on Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m., and signs will indicate this at the lot. Besides the four-hour window for TriMet riders, the parking spaces also are available all other hours and days.
