The Tigard station is also taking shape - the platform is about at the same progress as Wilsonville's, the siding is long done (Tigard's platform is the only center-platform station, with tracks on either side) and the parking lot is almost done. A pedestrian path extends south along the tracks to Hall Boulevard.
In the last week crews removed the old crossing of the OE tracks across Main Street and the road surface is being re-graded with a center median. Just today I saw a small tractor starting to rip up the ties on the OE north of Main Street towards Greton, leaving just the ballast.
It looks like the "Washington Square" (Hall Blvd.) station will be the last to be built; construction has not begun at all for this station.
