With Portland's latest light-rail line running to Milwaukie, local officials are already eyeing the next destination: a proposed MAX line between Portland and Tualatin. But they'll need skeptical voters to approve a $1.2 billion construction bond to fund the project. The Portland Bureau of Transportation spent $49,500 on four polls in May to assess whether voters would pay between $100 and $190 a year in new property taxes to support the Portland-Tualatin light-rail line. The polls gauged whether voters were more or less likely to support the project if it also included funding for extras such as bike safety and affordable housing. But the polls found that responses to all four concepts were almost the same—only between 45 percent and 48 percent of voters said they liked the ideas. "It's encouraging to see that level of support for something that I think hasn't really been on the radar for most people," says City Commissioner Steve Novick. "On their face, the results don't give us clear-cut direction as to 'this is what the package should be,' but it certainly gives us food for thought."
