Tilikum Crossing, Bridge of the People is a Portland landmark and the first of its kind in the United States. The bridge is unique in that it allows no private vehicles or cars, and is exclusively for public transport, services, pedestrians and bikers. The Portland Streetcar and MAX Orange Line trains operate across the bridge. This bridge is a cable-stayed structure and a unique addition to the city's skyscape.
