Older plans for the station included a parking garage south of Southeast Park Avenue that were later scrapped.[3]
Originally, it was planned that this station would be one of two MAX stations, the other being Southeast Bybee Boulevard (also on the Orange Line), that would have fare turnstiles installed as part of a TriMet pilot project during the testing of the Hop Fastpass electronic fare system[4] in 2017, but those plans have not proceeded.
On August 5, 2022, a MAX train collided into a stopblock and damaged parts of the platform.[5][6]
In March 2024, TriMet began construction of two additional stories at the Park & Ride.[7]
