As part of the planned service changes on August 24, TriMet will close the Skidmore Fountain MAX Station in Downtown Portland. This closure follows other downtown station closures that began in 2020, including Kings Hill/SW Salmon, Mall/SW 4th Ave, and Mall/SW 5th Ave stations. The primary reasons for the closure are low ridership and the need to speed up service through downtown. The closure will also be necessary during the replacement construction of the Burnside Bridge, now planned to begin in 2028.

Nearby stations remain open for service: Old Town/Chinatown Station, two blocks north, and Oak St/SW 1st Ave Station, four blocks south.
