Severe Weather Updates for December 23, 2008

I'm a little late, but everything was pretty much the same today!  PDOT was able to plow and sand secondary routes like NE 111th today, but we're still stuck because our tire chains did not work.  The rubber bands used to tighten the chains properly were old and snapped. 

We're also expecting a few more inches of snow before Christmas, apparently!

These updates are local to Parkrose/Gateway; for information about the greater Portland area, check with one of the local news stations.

Tri-Met

MAX blue line is running every 15 minutes.  MAX Red line is now running all the way to the airport.

Lines 22, 23, 25 and 27 have NO service today (I'm quite annoyed by that, as I live on and use line 23).

15-Belmont is running, but does not cross Mt. Tabor (uses Glisan instead).  Expect delays.

77-Broadway/Halsey: No service on Halsey between 82nd and 102nd (buses use Stark and Washington). No service east of 257th in Troutdale.

County Offices

All county offices, clinics, and libraries are closed, except for the McCoy Building Health Clinic and Pharmacy in downtown Portland at SW Stark and SW 5th. The clinic and pharmacy are open from noon to 4 pm to all county patients..

Community Centers

East Portland and Montavilla are open.  Some scheduled camps and classes may be cancelled; call for updates.
