With a new " Comprehensive Storm Drain System" the erosion of Sunset Cliffs and the undermining of Sunset Cliffs Boulevard will be stopped and the preservation of the boulevard will no longer be like "fighting a ragging river". With the erosion stopped the locations were the boulevard has been undermined can be repaired in order to preserve the boulevard in its current location. These locations of serious undermining of the boulevard and the corresponding repairs are as follows:
Hill Street; Where Hill Street meets the cliffs edge of Sunset Cliffs Boulevard. This location extends from Hill Street to the entrance of "No Surf Beach". This Hill Street location is in need of immediate repair. This location repair consists of a "tie-Back" repair that bolts back a small selective piece of natural colored stuccoed wire mesh to the cliff.
Rockslides; South of Monaco Street 200 feet where Sunset Cliffs Boulevard Bends. This Rockslides location repair need to have the rip-rap secured with colored cement mastic and a small tie back to maintain the integrity of the boulevard.
The Clairbourne's Cove location due to uncontrolled surface water run off, has caused a serious point of erosion that is jeopardizing the boulevard. A Storm drain that controls the surface water run off will stop the retreat of this point of erosion and will allow the cliff to dry out and save this point of the boulevard from elimination and closure. Also this area needs the rip-rap to be configured to create an opening in the center of the rip-rap wall and then anchor the rip-rap with a natural colored cement mastic. With the new "Comprehensive Storm Drain System" this location will not suffer the erosion that is currently occurring, and will allow Clairbourne's Cove to once again flush naturally.


|Mission: We are a group of residents in Mill Valley, Corte Madera, and Larkspur working to re-open the historic Alto Tunnel between Mill Valley and Corte Madera for use as a safe, convenient bicycle/pedestrian path for everyone.
The tunnel would provide the general public an option for transit and recreation beneficial to the entire community. The tunnel route would be enjoyable and save time, and it would be conducive to personal health and environmental health.
Imagine a flat, safe, automobile-free route between these towns . . .
The Alto Tunnel is the critical missing link link in the beautiful pathway that runs from Sausalito through Mill Valley and continues in Corte Madera and Larkspur.
Please help us to re-open Alto Tunnel so that the bicycle/pedestrian pathway can be connected. Call to find out how you can helpPaul Carroll, Executive Director

The Carson City Council has postponed a decision on whether to rename Moneta Avenue for Filipino revolutionary hero Jose Rizal.
About a dozen residents of Moneta Avenue told the council they are opposed to the renaming at the council meeting on Tuesday.
Many said they did not want to have to pay to change their address on official documents, and many were also concerned that the city had done no outreach on the proposal, which came from Councilman Elito Santarina.
Three supporters of the idea also spoke on Tuesday.
Mayor Jim Dear referred the matter to a committee on signage, which will meet at 6:30 p.m. on July 20 at Veterans Park, 22400 Moneta Ave.


Valuables worth millions of naira were destroyed by flood in Ilorin metropolis on Wednesday evening.
It was gathered that the downpour, which started about 5:00pm lasted till around 9:00 PM, caused untold hardship and losses to residents of the state capital.
It was also gathered that many occupants of affected buildings at Obbo and Unity roads, Ilorin, stayed indoor till Thursday afternoon as water that had enveloped their buildings, prevented them from going out.
Also affected were business premises like the old KWACCIMA building at Unity Road, Omowunmi cooperative society building at Obbo road, shops, residential houses, churches, and mosques.
Items destroyed by the flood include cars, food items, documents, and electronic gadgets.
Some victims of the perennial flood disaster, who called on the state government to liaise with the federal government to find a lasting solution to the problem, lamented that the flood had persisted because channelization project on Asa river was yet to be completed.
One of the affected business owners at Obbo road, Ilorin, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Olororo, said that abandoned work on channelization project of Asa river had brought about frequent flooding in the area.
“The channelization project, which started from Amilegbe area did not get to us here. The excavation and building of walls on sides of the river were not done here as expected. That’s why we have flood here every time it rains. With a heavy volume of water coming from other areas of the town, we can’t escape the usual flood. It was not up to this level earlier this morning.
The level keeps increasing”, he said.
It was also gathered that residents of communities like Amilegbe, Omosebi, Cocacola, and Offa Garage suffered the effect of the flood.

What is Asphalt?
Asphalt, also know as Bitumen is a mixture of hot crude oil, which binds together aggregates (rocks and sand) to form a solid surface strong enough to support the weight of vehicles. The primary use of asphalt is in road construction, where it is used as the glue or binder for the aggregate particles.
Asphalt Vs. Concrete
Asphalt is generally less expensive than concrete. In addition, the construction time from site preparation to finished product is a much quicker than concrete. Asphalt is also easier to repair than concrete.
On roads and pathways, asphalt is typically a much smoother and quieter surface than concrete. Asphalt also tends to melt ice quicker than concrete because of its dark coloring, which absorbs heat from the sun.


Spitfire Square Opens
With the Spitfire Square project delayed by the Canterbury earthquakes and protracted anchor tenant negotiations, it is great to finally see this development open its doors, in what will be a great asset for the airport and surrounding communities.
The icing was put onto the cake with the replica spitfire being mounted front and centre on the Memorial Ave frontage. The aircraft, along with accompanying memorial wall, was dedicated to the fallen WWII airmen at a ceremony on Saturday 10th September 2015 - read more about it here.
Cequent Projects played a pivotal role in maintaining momentum in the project despite the multiple disruptions through the design phase and also oversaw the coordination between the base build and supermarket fit-out designs.
New Spitfire Square Development opens its doors.

Katy says: Recently, I came upon a story about a cost-effective alternative to expensive mass-transit systems. It's called Aerobus and it has been in use in the city of Mannheim, Germany, as well as other places, for many years now.
The system is basically a train made up of several modules that are transported via cables connected by towers 500 meters apart. It is electrical, can reportedly transport up to 40 thousand people per hour and has a construction cost of about $20 million per mile (as opposed to $400 million for conventional subway systems).
I'm no engineer, but it seems that given Caracas' enormous traffic problems, we should be discussing practical, inexpensive solutions such as this one. The only solution can't be for Venezuelans to patiently wait in their colas until the Metro reaches Guarenas or El Hatillo.

Update on gypsy and traveller illegal encampment at Upton Recreation Ground
Published: 23 May 2022
The Town Council would like to reassure residents that we are doing everything we can to move the encampment on. This is reliant on the police issuing a Section 62 notice which the Town Council has requested. A S62 can only be served after police carry out a Community Impact Assessment and this needs evidence which should reference the specific community impact e.g. loss of play space, specific examples of ASB etc. The best way for residents to log concerns is to email the police on firstname.lastname@example.org.
Following the implementation of a S62 notice, the encampment will be moved on to Dorset Council's transit site at Piddlehinton. The Town Council will be charged for the use of the site.
Preparations are already underway to ensure a prompt clean up of the grounds once the encampment have been moved on. Alternative options to ensure the grounds are not subjected to illegal encampments in the future are being investigated as a priority.
We are aware of events taking place on the recreation ground this week and we are doing all we can to ensure they can still take place.
The Town Council will continue to provide regularly updates as and when the situation develops.

Letters to the Editor
When I first heard they were going to build an observatory here, as a gateway to the stars, I was enamoured of such a perfect idea.
I cannot understand why Mayor Hawes and his council could not get behind this idea.
Perhaps it is prudent to revisit the observatory as a part of the bigger picture.
The Stage was a good start, but the rest of the structure needs work.
The most important step is to convince mayor and councillors to commit to a date to have a 12,000 square foot cement facility built.

Rud Sawers was employed by us as an architect to ensure the smooth passage of a detailed planning application to the Dartmoor National Park. The permission was for a 1,600 square feet extension and other extensive structural building works to our cross passage farm house on Dartmoor.
The brief was to restore the unlisted, but, building of architectural interest by using natural local materials, and to interpret our ideas accordingly. As he said on our first meeting, ‘be the pen in your hand’. However, Rud was forthcoming with practical solutions and aesthetics which we embraced in our scheme. The Design and Access Statement he produced made comprehensive reference to sustainable design features and use of renewable energy which encouraged the planners to look favourably on our application. Furthermore, Rud was sensitive to the historical integrity of our design and after research incorporated features we wished to use, which also impressed the Historical Buildings Officer.
He communicated with the builder and other members of our design team very happily. Without appeal, the detailed planning application was passed successfully with conditions imposed which were not unexpected.
He has a very amenable disposition and a good relationship with the Authority.


Crews hired by the Town of Vail will begin an annual street maintenance project beginning Tuesday, June 19.

Proffitt’s – Investing in Communities have recently secured grant monies from Lancashire County Councils ‘Central Gateway’. The funds are to be used to identify and work with 12 community groups in each of the council areas of Lancashire on a range of community focused projects – anything from allotment group formation / support to township action planning and management. Tim Blythe for the County Council’s Environment & Community Projects Team said “if Proffitt’s are able to take up some of the demand we have on our service, and drive forward positive change with local communities and add value to county resources then we are all going to be winners, especially the communities in which we work. I’m expecting the enthusiasm of Martin and his team to show tangible benefits at the end of this 12 month programme”. The work has started immediately with the first project being worked up in partnership with Pendle Borough Council and Brierfields Children’s Centre.

The Delta Users Committee
DELTA USERS COMMITTEE
The Delta Users Committee came into being shortly before the World Summit on Sustainable Development held in Johannesburg in 2002 with the objective of encouraging greater usage of the park by the community. This followed years of neglect of the park by the City Council and the perception that the park was an undesirable place for walkers, joggers and cyclists.
To this end the committee implemented a monthly walk in the park and its surrounds. This walk still takes place and attracts upwards of 50 people from all over Greater Johannesburg. It is particularly popular with dog walkers.
The committee also provides a link between the community and Delta Environmental Centre, an NGO that is housed in the park and provides environmental education facilities to both learners and teachers. In addition, DEC works closely with Johannesburg City Parks on the management of the park, especially as it sees this facility as an outdoor classroom supporting its education offerings.
Recent enhancements in the park include
Other enhancements are planned and the DUCS will continue with its involvement in these issues.
082 688 1879
Walks arranged at Delta Park
The committee regularly organises walks in Delta Park for members of the public. The walks take place on the third Sunday of each month at 8am. The group starts off from the Guides centre (Trefoil Park). Tea/Coffee and muffins are served after the walk (cost R10)

PERRY COUNTY LAND BANK: Currently we are in the process of removing sixteen properties in Perry County
C&DD Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get this old house beside me torn down?
There’s no easy answer to this question. But the first thing you can do is find the location of the current owner of the property. If the owner is willing to sign the title of the property over, there is a chance we can get the property removed. I can’t find the owner, what can I do now? You can file a nuisance complaint with the Perry County Health Department and our staff will investigate and see if we can find the owner of the property.

Originally known as the Lower Burial Ground, it is located on land set aside in 1692 as a secular burial ground for residents of lower Germantown. It is estimated that more than 1000 persons are buried within its two acres, including many of the earliest settlers of Germantown and a number of prominent Philadelphians.
Backstory and Context
Today, the cemetery is a beautiful green oasis within an urban neighborhood. The monumental stone entranceway is a significant landmark on Germantown Avenue.

Flagler Street in Downtown Miami, Olympia Theater In The Background
Here’s a photo of Flagler Street in the 1940’s era. You can see the streets are heavily populated and full of traffic. Other details in the photo include seeing the Olympia Theater all the way in the background of the photo, so that indicates that the photographer was pointed east. You also see the Trolley system and tacks with cars navigating along with it. And then you also see that Flagler Street is a one way street at this point in history.

WEST CHESTER (March 26) – State Senator Andy Dinniman on Friday announced $500,000 in state funding to build a 1.2-mile section of the Chester Valley Trail, the walking and bicycling path between Exton and Montgomery County that is progressing swiftly toward completion.
This latest funding comes from Pennsylvania’s Community Conservation Partnerships Program and specifically will be used to extend the trail from its Exton Park site trailhead westward to Iron Lake Boulevard in West Whiteland.
In September 2010, county officials completed and opened the 4.2-mile section of the Chester Valley Trail between the Exton Park Site and Route 29 in Malvern.
And just last month, officials signed an $8.3 million contract to complete the 6.8-mile segment of the trail between Malvern and Montgomery County. That work is scheduled to begin imminently and be completed in late 2013, according to contractor Alan A. Myers Construction Co.
“Today’s announcement adds to the momentum of the Chester Valley Trail and we look forward to the day when we can walk or bicycle the 11-plus miles from Exton east to Montgomery County and onward to Philadelphia on one continual paved path,” Dinniman said. “The Chester Valley Trail represents what can happen when all levels of government and business work together toward a common goal.”
Work on the Chester Valley Trail began in 1991 when officials from Chester and Montgomery counties envisioned the cross-county trail.
For more information contact Senator Dinniman’s West Chester Office at (610) 692-2112, or e-mail email@example.com.

After 50 years as the region’s main north-south route, Interstate 5 is about to get a much-needed facelift between Kent and Seattle.
The state state Department of Transportation is starting one of its most ambitious interstate restoration projects, renewing nearly 22 miles of northbound I-5 in the next three years, according to a state DOT media release.
More than 200,000 vehicles use the interstate daily – that’s 73 million families, commuters and freight carriers each year that rely on I-5. After five decades of use expansion joints are wearing out, concrete panels are broken and other sections of the highway have deep ruts.
“We’ve been maintaining I-5 for more than 50 years, but it’s time for major preservation work so the interstate can continue to serve our region for decades to come,” said state DOT Northwest regional administrator Lorena Eng.
The work is actually two separate projects. When the first starts Monday, April 17, in south King County, contractor crews working for the state will restore northbound I-5 between South 260th Street in Kent and the Duwamish River in Tukwila.
Later this year, contractor crews will start work on northbound I-5 between Martin Luther King Jr. Way and Northeast Ravenna Boulevard in Seattle.
Most of the work will take place at night, but drivers can expect weekend-long lane closures on northbound I-5 for as many as 26 weekends. Much of that weekend work will take place during the next two to three summers. Dates have yet to be scheduled.
The work is scheduled to be completed in 2019.
South 260th Street to Duwamish River
Contractor crews from Gary Merlino Construction will complete northbound I-5 work similar to what has been done on southbound I-5 between the Duwamish River and Federal Way. To finish 8.9 miles of northbound rehabilitation by fall 2018, they will:
• Replace eight expansion joints – four at Interurban Avenue and four on the Duwamish River Bridge
• Repave 4 miles of all lanes between South 216th Street in SeaTac and South 178th Street in Tukwila
• Replace about 440 broken concrete panels
• Grind concrete sections to eliminate ruts
• This project will reduce northbound I-5 to two lanes on 10 weekends – four to replace the expansion joints and six to repave between South 216th and South 178th streets.
Martin Luther King Jr. Way to Northeast Ravenna Boulevard
• Much of this 13-mile section of northbound I-5 is elevated freeway, with expansion joints connecting concrete highway sections. By late 2019, contractor crews will:
• Replace 37 expansion joints
• Replace all concrete panels from near the West Seattle Bridge to near the express lanes ramp, except for bridges
• Replace hundreds of broken concrete panels
• Grind concrete sections to remove ruts
• Replace four bridge approach slabs on three bridges
• Repave 24 on- and off-ramps
During 2017, work on this project will take place at night. In 2018 to 2019, contractor crews also will work at night, but could require up to 16 weekends of northbound I-5 lane closures.

Notice on Fees – Governor Abbott signed H.B. 852, which does not allow a municipality to consider the value of the dwelling or the cost of construction on improving the dwelling when determining the cost of a permit. These are the dominant methods used by cities, including Rockport, to calculate building permit fees.
With the bill becoming effective immediately, Rockport did not have the opportunity to develop a comprehensive, alternative fee schedules that comply with the Legislature’s mandate. Until the City is able to develop a comprehensive plan, it will be using the International Code Council’s (ICC) Building Code’s square foot methodology for determining fees as an interim measure. (Residential permits $0.60 a sq.ft. all other trades $0.10 sq.ft.). Once the City’s fee schedule is developed and adopted by City Council, it will be posted on the web site.
Due to the high volume of traffic we have been experiencing post-Harvey, we have been unable to process both emailed and faxed permits in a timely manner. Therefore, all permits must be applied for in person or through this portal.
Please visit our office at 2751 Highway 35 Bypass, located on the west access road between Pearl and Market Streets, to obtain permits.
Due to the high volume of inspection requests, the Building Department is changing its deadline for inspections. You may schedule an inspection for the same day by calling the Building Inspection Department’s 24-hour Inspection Request Line, 361-790-1177, no later than 8:00 A.M. of the day you need the inspection. Any inspection requests received after 8:00 a.m. will be scheduled for the following business day.

This is a proposal for a campaign to erect a statue/monument comparable to the bikers on Florida Road to recognize and honor firefighters and to be a testament to the special nature and uniqueness of both Durango and Silverton in their response to crises and to those in need.
This project would also recognize all involved in firefighting efforts and those affected – fire departments, first responders, the Forest Service, charitable organizations and businesses, residents of both cities – by featuring a firefighter(s) as the main figure(s) with either a collage, bricks or plaques representing all of the others.
This should be an inclusive public project, sponsored by no single person or organization but rather by everyone in town with support and contributions as an opportunity to express our gratitude and appreciation.
This requires more expertise than I have – soliciting proposals, getting bids, working with the arts council and city, obtaining a very visible public location on land owned and donated by the city, involving the media, obtaining and strictly monitoring donations through a bank-administered fund.
A dollar or two from everyone in town should cover the cost of the entire project. The public could submit ideas and a committee could choose a title for the statue – something like Gratitude? Our Communities Respond? – with a public dedication on completion.
Please contact me at email@example.com if you would like to help initiate this project or offer suggestions.

The Town of Qualicum Beach council supports a proposal to build a pickleball court in the community.
Mayor Teunis Westbroek at a special council meeting on April 19, made a successful motion to include a provision in the 2024 budget for the development of pickleball courts. It will comprise of town-provided land, $85,000 to be contributed from funds raised by the group that’s pushing for pickleball courts, and $85,000 to be allocated from the Growing Community Reserve funds.
“I thought this way we could give them a chance to start raising funds,” said Westbroek. “We’re not going to pay for the whole thing. This is a classic example of Qualicum Beach working with volunteer organizations who would run the facility, who would raise funds for the facility. And the town would be supportive by doing this. It will still have time for discussion when the 2024 budget comes up. But I think by making this statement, it gives clarity to where the town is going and to support what I think is one of the fastest sports in North America.
Last month, the newly formed Qualicum Beach Pickleball Club appeared as a delegation at council’s regular meeting on March 22 to ask the town to build pickleball courts due to the increasing number of people playing the sport in the community.
Two possible locations in Qualicum Beach were suggested. One is the space between the Qualicum Beach tennis courts and Qualicum Beach Curling Club, where three courts could be built. The other location is in the middle field at the Qualicum Beach Community Park close to the civic centre that already has washrooms and will be close to other facilities. Four courts, the club cited, could possibly fit there.


Portwand Transit Maww
The Portwand Transit Maww is a pubwic transit corridor dat travews norf–souf drough de center of downtown Portwand, Oregon, United States. It encompasses a pair of one-way streets—one for nordbound traffic, de oder for soudbound—awong which two of de dree wanes are restricted to transit vehicwes onwy. The transit maww opened in 1977 and untiw wight raiw trains were added in 2009, buses were de onwy transit vehicwes using it. The maww was rebuiwt and extended soudwards from 2007 to 2009, and it reopened for buses on May 24, 2009. Light raiw service on de maww was introduced on August 30, 2009, wif de shifting of de MAX Yewwow Line to de maww from its originaw routing in downtown, and a second MAX wine, de Green Line, began serving de maww a monf water on September 12. Between faww 2009 and Juwy 2014, de Portwand Vintage Trowwey awso served de transit maww on certain Sundays. Awdough de maww's stops are mainwy served by TriMet vehicwes, on weekdays buses on express routes operated by C-Tran and de Cowumbia County Rider awso serve de maww. In September 2015, de new MAX Orange Line repwaced de Yewwow Line service in de soudbound direction on de maww, on 5f Avenue, wif de Orange and Yewwow wines being drough-routed at aww times.
The Portwand Transit Maww (formawwy named simpwy de Portwand Maww) was constructed by TriMet, de Portwand metropowitan area's regionaw transit agency, in 1976–77 and opened on December 11, 1977. It was formawwy dedicated in March 1978. The maww comprises 5f Avenue, for soudbound buses, and 6f Avenue, for nordbound buses, and when first opened it invowved de sections of dose streets extending from West Burnside Street to SW Madison Street: de centraw core of downtown, uh-hah-hah-hah.
In June 1994, de maww was extended nordward drough Chinatown to Union Station (used by Amtrak) and de Greyhound bus depot. Short, unconnected additions were made in de area around Portwand State University in de earwy 2000s.
TriMet's Farewess Sqware (renamed de "Free Raiw Zone" in 2010) encompassed de entire maww untiw discontinued in 2012, and dese two faciwities/measures, among oders, have contributed to TriMet's having become one of de nation's most successfuw and most-studied pubwic transportation systems.
Prior to its cwosure for rebuiwding in 2007, de Portwand Maww's design permitted private vehicwe traffic to use de weft wane, but onwy in short, two-bwock segments. In every dird bwock, de wefdand (auto) wane disappeared for one bwock, and de oderwise dree-wane-wide street became two wanes wide and restricted to buses onwy. In dis way, two-dirds of de specific bwocks awong 5f Avenue and 6f Avenue remained open to cars, but use of dose streets for drough travew by cars was prohibited.
Design and amenities
The 1970s rebuiwding of 5f and 6f avenues as transit-priority streets incwuded severaw changes designed to create an environment dat was more attractive and inviting to transit users and oder pedestrians. Sidewawks were widened and repaved in brick, many additionaw trees were pwanted, new works of pubwic art were commissioned and instawwed, and amenities such as benches and fwower pwanters were added.
At each bus stop, a warge new passenger shewter was instawwed. In addition to a pay tewephone, every shewter was eqwipped wif a cwosed-circuit tewevision monitor giving riders information as to de next dree departures on each bus route serving dat particuwar stop. This particuwar feature of de Portwand Transit Maww was said to be a "first" for urban transit at de time (1977), having previouswy been used onwy in intercity transportation terminaws, mainwy airports. The information system came into use in January 1978. The monitors were originawwy bwack-and-white, but were repwaced by cowor ones in 1988.
Most bus routes serving downtown Portwand fowwowed de transit maww, but a few remained on so-cawwed "cross-maww" routings, awong east-west streets, originawwy Morrison and Yamhiww streets but shifted to Washington and Sawmon streets wif de start of MAX construction in de earwy 1980s.
Wif regard to operations, de maww was designed wif two bus stops in each bwock, or about one stop every 100 feet (30 m). However, a bus operating on any given route onwy stopped at every fourf stop, i.e., every two bwocks. TriMet adopted symbows and cowors for each grouping of stops, so dat bus riders couwd easiwy determine which particuwar stop wocations were served by deir routes. The cowors/symbows, which were marked by warge signs at each stop and awso shown on pubwic scheduwes and maps, were as fowwows: Brown Beaver, Green Leaf, Yewwow Rose, Orange Deer, Red Fish, Purpwe Raindrops and Bwue Snowfwake. They were awso cawwed "sector symbows", as each one corresponded to a particuwar sector of de city, e.g., de Rose being for routes serving Soudwest Portwand and de Fish for Norf Portwand routes. When TriMet's first wight raiw wine opened in 1986, use of de Snowfwake symbow on de maww was discontinued, as aww TriMet routes in dat sector were curtaiwed to terminate at a wight raiw station, such as de Gateway Transit Center, and no wonger travewed to downtown, uh-hah-hah-hah.
This operating configuration for de Portwand Maww remained wargewy unchanged for 29 years, before de maww cwosed for rebuiwding in earwy 2007. TriMet discontinued use of de distinctive graphic symbows used at maww stops at dat time, but de symbows had awready been rewegated to secondary status in 2002, when dey were repwaced by purewy geographic, wetter designations such as N or NE (for Norf Portwand or Nordeast Portwand) for each grouping. The graphic sector symbows were retained onwy at a greatwy reduced size on de maww signs (much smawwer in size dan de new wetter indications) and were no wonger used at aww in oder TriMet media, such as de covers of bus scheduwes. They disappeared entirewy in January 2007.
Renovation and rebuiwding
In 2004, it was decided to add MAX wight raiw to de transit maww, as TriMet's existing MAX routing drough downtown was nearing its design capacity and anoder wine (de Green Line) was being pwanned and was expected to be added to de system widin a few years. Awso, de maww was approaching dree decades of use, and was in need of a heavy renovation, uh-hah-hah-hah. TriMet and transportation pwanners from de city and Metro studied how best to accommodate bof buses and wight raiw on de maww. During dis process, it was awso decided, at de urging of de downtown business community, to reconfigure de maww's traffic wanes in such a way as to permit autos and oder private traffic to use de weft wane for de entire wengds of 5f and 6f avenues, a controversiaw decision, uh-hah-hah-hah. The project wouwd awso extend de maww souf, from Madison Street aww de way to de soudern end of downtown and of Farewess Sqware, at de Stadium Freeway (I-405), dereby reaching Portwand State University.
The Portwand Transit Maww temporariwy cwosed for rebuiwding on January 14, 2007. The work carried out over de next two years incwuded de addition of wight raiw tracks and widening, to dree wanes, aww of de few souf-of-Burnside sections which had previouswy been intentionawwy narrowed (by de originaw 1970s design) to two wanes and bus-onwy. During de wengdy cwosure, aww bus routes using de maww were diverted to oder streets, many to de nearby pair of 3rd Avenue (soudbound) and 4f Avenue (nordbound), where dey had to share aww traffic wanes wif private vehicwes but wif parking temporariwy removed at aww of de new bus stops. Some routes were cut back to de soudern part of downtown, making a woop awong Cowumbia and Jefferson Streets.
In 2007, wocaw officiaws and businessmen expressed confidence dat de renovation and extension of de transit maww wouwd foster major new property redevewopment in downtown over de next severaw years.
Bus service returned to de maww on May 24, 2009. Three monds water, on August 30, 2009, MAX wight raiw began serving de maww, when de Yewwow Line was shifted from its originaw (2004) downtown routing. On September 12, 2009, de new Green Line opened, and it serves de transit maww as weww.
In de new design, MAX stops are wocated every 4–5 bwocks, and a bus (on a given route) awso stops onwy every 4–5 bwocks. Groupings of stops are marked by wetters: A, B, C or D on 5f Avenue, and W, X, Y or Z on 6f Avenue. Aww of de few routes dat were shortened swightwy, to terminate in de soudern part of downtown upon de maww's cwosure for rebuiwding in 2007, have been permanentwy revised so as to no wonger serve de maww, where repwacement service is now being provided by wight raiw. The maww is currentwy served by 17 TriMet bus routes, six of which onwy operate in peak hours (at weast on dat part of deir route). Onwy one 1977 shewter survived demowition; wocated near Soudwest 5f and Sawmon streets, it was spared as a reminder of de previous transit maww, water re-purposed as a concession stand.
Awdough cars and trucks are now awwowed to use de weft wane for de entire wengf of de transit maww, dey are—wif de exception of a very few wocations—not permitted to turn right at any intersections. A motorist wanting to turn right from de transit maww must turn weft, and make two additionaw weft turns, to end up in de desired direction, uh-hah-hah-hah. This prevents cars' making right turns into de paf of an oncoming bus or wight raiw car, which might be unabwe safewy to stop in time to prevent a serious cowwision, uh-hah-hah-hah.
Vintage Trowwey service
On September 13, 2009, de Sundays-onwy Portwand Vintage Trowwey service moved to de transit maww from a different route it had fowwowed since 1991. The trowwey cars served de fuww wengf of de maww, from Union Station to Portwand State University. However, de Vintage Trowwey service was discontinued in 2014, running for de wast time on Juwy 6 of dat year.

The MAX Maww Shuttwe was a service dat operated from 2009 untiw 2011, weekday afternoons onwy. Introduced on September 14, 2009, it suppwemented de wight-raiw service provided on de maww by de Yewwow and Green wines and operated onwy between Union Station and PSU, about every 30 minutes on weekdays from noon untiw 5:30 p.m. TriMet discontinued dis suppwementary shuttwe service effective June 5, 2011 (making Friday, June 3 de finaw day of operation). Awong wif bus service, de maww continues to be served by two MAX wines in each direction – Green and Yewwow nordbound and Green and Orange soudbound – which provide a combined average headway of 7.5 minutes in each direction at most times.

"This was a long journey. But the struggle was worth it for the 52 families that now have a place to call home.” - Mayor Mayor Justin Wilson, City of Alexandria.
Yesterday we celebrated the official grand opening of Lineage, a brand-new affordable community in Alexandria. In partnership with Alexandria Redevelopment and Housing Authority (ARHA), Lineage became entirely leased up in less than 3 months during the beginning stages of the pandemic. We’re incredibly proud of our team and all those involved leading up to this momentous day.
Special thanks to our distinguished speakers: Keith Pettigrew, David Cortiella, Peter Kleeblatt, Roy Priest, Jill Norcross
