This is the BRT plan that was released to the public on 2-5-2002. The plan is to widen McLoughlin from 110' (+/-) to 130' at major intersections to create a separate bus bypass lane. The pictures and descriptions show what will happen to your business if you allow BRT to be built to their specifications. Metro has said that the plan can be changed; however, they are only offering you minor changes by moving the road or a driveway a few feet to pacify you. As a community we must stand together and tell Metro "NO BUILD" to BRT or we will be stuck with the results of increased congestion, job losses, and business that will be destroyed because of this project. You must speak up loud to put an end to the destruction of our community. Remember the quote from Clackamas County, "Silence Is Considered Acceptance" |

All measurements are approximate. Numbers in the 100 to 130' range are for the full road width. Lower numbers of 65' and below are from the center of McLoughlin or from a specific point. |
