The station, located near Beaverton's downtown area, is surrounded by a mixed-use development, The Round at Beaverton Central, the present location of the main offices of The Linux Foundation, previously the Open Source Development Labs. In March 2011, TriMet received a federal grant to pay for the installation of security cameras at the station.[1]
History
Transit-oriented development
The Round is a high-density, mixed-use development that was intended to recreate the lost historical city center of Beaverton. Despite the involvement of 12 different agencies, the developer was unable to obtain sufficient financing, and the project had to be downsized to nearly half of the originally planned density.[2]
