Members of the Portland to Milwaukie MAX Steering Committee voted unanimously on Thursday the 26th of June to adopt a new locally preferred alignment for the project.

As has been reported earlier, many changes are coming to the transportation infrastructure in Brooklyn.
Agressive drivers now have one less Brooklyn neighborhood street to use as a traffic signal bypass. A long-term closure of SE Long Street went into effect on Thursday, June 5th. This change was proposed by area residents, championed by Commissioner Sam Adams, approved by 100% of abutting property owners, and accepted by the City of Portland, Ofice of Transportation.
Mark your calendar and consider volunteering. It’s time for the Brooklyn Neighborhood Cleanup.
- WHEN? THIS SATURDAY, JUNE 7, 2008
