Looking south toward the South Waterfront area, before the streetcar tracks were relocated into the roadway as they are now.

Portland Streetcar Has a Safety Message

See the video yet? Please be safe around the streetcar tracks! 🙂

Kind of sappy and silly, but seriously everyone needs to bear in mind the streetcar is there. The tracks aren’t coming up and they’re getting more popular again. So be safe and careful to approach the tracks safely.
