“And as the streetcar has expanded, it’s become a magnet for new housing. “It seems simple, but Portland Streetcar is successful because it connects where people live with where they need to go every day,” said Portland Streetcar Executive Director Dan Bower. Conducted by EcoNorthwest, the data analysis shows that 3,130 new multifamily housing units were built along the Streetcar corridor in 2016, the most in the system’s 16-year history. Another 5,600 units are currently planned or under construction. New data released Tuesday shows that the early vision for a streetcar system that spurs housing development and improves transit access is generating results.
