  • Long-term projects: – Construction is happening near 18th and Hilyard Street this week. Expect delays and possible lane reductions to a single lane. – Construction near the shoulders of Willamette Street and 52nd Avenue is causing heavy delays this week. Access to the Ridgeline Trail from the southwest corner of West 52nd Avenue and South Willamette Street, and the Ridgeline Trail parking west of South Willamette Street, will be closed as needed. – From Monday through Friday this week, construction at W 30th Ave and Portland St will close parking on the west side of Portland St from W 30th Ave to W 29th Pl, and parts of the parking area north of W 29th Pl to W 28th Ave. Pedestrians cannot use the west side of Portland St between W 30th Ave and W 29th Pl, but can cross at the northwest corner of W 30th Ave and Portland St to use a temporary ramp and sidewalk on the east side. Pedestrians on W 30th Ave west of Portland St should use the temporary walkway on the north side of W 30th Ave to reach Portland St.
