High speed trains in the suburbs

Portland is devising a plan to install a high speed train running from Portland down to Eugene. The train moves at a speed of 110 mph and would make about 12 trips per day to each city. The ongoing issue with installing this train is the route to be taken runs through the heart of Lake Oswego's downtown. It would divide the city in half and remove the small quaint atmosphere the cities downtown thrives on. The train would also go through Milwaukie, another suburb of Portland.

I hope a high speed train is made between the two cities as the traveling between Eugene and Portland is hectic much of the time, especially since Salem lies in between the two cities. This would reduce congestion very much and make the trip much faster, especially for those driving from Salem or Eugene to Portland for work.
