7-Eleven Hair Authority Check-Cash Central Finance American Family Insurance Express Personal Services All share this parking lot The BRT plan calls for 60' width on this side of McLoughlin. The new sidewalk will be 9' to the right making this parking lot narrow and hard to park in. A new restricted access driveway will block customers coming from the south. People who use the Naef driveway know that its almost impossible to go east to McLoughlin when the traffic backs up on Naef. |

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" |
