Portland Mall Light Rail Project Safety NoticeBus Operator Training Begins January 12
On Monday, January 12, bus operator training begins on several blocks of the Portland Mall:
6th Avenue – SW Market to SW Salmon; SW Stark to NW Couch; NW Hoyt to NW Irving
NW Irving between 5th and 6th Avenues
5th Avenue – NW Irving to SW OakParking on these blocks will be removed – motorists and cyclists will be required to travel only in the left-hand traffic lane, to the left of the bumpy, double white lane divider. Bus operator training will take place in the transit lanes on the right side of both avenues, except where narrower streets north of Burnside require some bus operation in the traffic lane.
Stopping will not be allowed in the car and bike lane except as required by traffic signals. Right turns from 5th and 6th avenues also will not be allowed.
Buses used during training will not be in service and all bus stops on the Mall will remain closed until bus service begins on May 24, 2009.
