SLOW down, you won’t move too fast

On Northeast 102nd Avenue this month, expect more of the same and then some. There will continue to be construction between Northeast Pacific and Halsey streets, city of Portland Project Manager Dan Layden told the Memo. In addition, there will be a detour for northbound traffic seeking to turn west onto Halsey as the project closes the roundabout to create a sculpture. On the plus side, Layden said the project is on schedule to meet its Nov. 1 completion deadline. There will be some funds left over, which the Portland Office of Transportation hopes to use to do planning and engineering on the next phase of the project between Northeast Glisan and Southeast Washington streets. The bureau is seeking $8.7 million in federal funds through Metro’s Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program for construction of this phase.

In another transportation project, Leslie Hidula of TriMet said work on the new MAX Green Line, from Clackamas Town Center to downtown via I-205 is 70 percent complete. The old I-205 bike path, temporarily closed to allow the construction work, should reopen next spring, and the project should be complete by fall 2009. At the Main Street station and park-and-ride, shelters have been installed, and lane striping and landscaping are complete. Trees will soon be planted, security cameras will be installed in the fall, and public art will be in place later.
