Clackamas River Drive reopened, divided highway began August 27
The contractor reopened the closed stretch of Clackamas River Drive near the Highway 213 intersection on Monday, August 27. The roadway was closed for six weeks to realign, widen, and lower it to match the grade of the adjoining new roundabout. Since Clackamas River Drive reopened, problematic left turns that stop the flow of traffic on Highway 213 were permanently replaced by routes that loop underneath the highway. The contractor installed a barrier on the Highway 213 center line overnight on August 26 to prevent left turns and straight movements across the highway at the northbound I-205 ramps and at the intersection with Clackamas River Drive and Prairie Schooner Way (formerly Washington Street).

TriMet changes fares and service beginning Sept. 1-2
Beginning Saturday, Sept. 1 TriMet is eliminating all fare zones, including the Free Rail Zone and raising most fares. This change means that a valid fare will be required on MAX Light Rail in Downtown Portland and the Lloyd District. The elimination of zones simplifies the fare system and riders can choose either a two-hour ticket or a convenient day pass. For some riders, the fares will either remain the same (Honored Citizen 2-hour ticket) or decline (New Day Tickets for Honored Citizens and Youths). These new "go anywhere" fares are valid on buses, MAX light rail and WES Commuter Rail. Beginning Sunday, Sept. 2, some bus routes will be reconfigured, low-ridership trips on 8 lines will be eliminated and extra buses will be added to 7 lines to alleviate overcrowding. More
