The station was located in the center of SW 18th Avenue and had a single platform between the tracks. The platforms were accessed from the left-hand side of the train. Despite the
Providence Park eastbound station being only two blocks away, the station was added at the request of the neighborhood. It provided service to
Lincoln High School and the
Multnomah Athletic Club. Though one of the least-used downtown MAX stations, in 2006 a new condominium development nearby was expected to boost ridership. On March 1, 2020, TriMet closed the station, alongside
the stations at Pioneer Place mall, as part of a pilot program to improve MAX journey times through Downtown Portland. While the station was supposed to be closed for only a year, it has remained closed since.
Public art Artwork around the station recalls
Tanner Creek, which was buried and infilled early in Portland's history, and a bronze
goose paying tribute to the Goose Hollow neighborhood.
The Simpsons creator
Matt Groening etched
Bart Simpson into the east sidewalk of SW 18th Avenue in 1996 during the construction of this station. The City of Portland has opted to leave the sidewalk intact. SW 18th Avenue runs behind Lincoln High School, where Groening graduated in 1972. ==Bus line connections==
