Woman who wore headphones, family is suing Trimet for her death

I drive through that intersection all the time, and Tri-Met has really improved it since the accident. There was a lot of vegetation in that corridor , which they've pruned.

The also installed a little gate that a pedestrian would have to open before crossing the tracks (which hopefully, will get people to pay attention).

Light rail trains are very quite compared to freight trains. I can see how someone might have spaced out and walked across the tracks. I think it's pretty mean spirited to call her names and say she deserved to die. She probably was just spacing out.....
