Steve's Place<p>An update from PBOT slapped my inbox silly.</p><p>"A smoother street, with improved lighting, pedestrian crossings and curb ramps, requires overnight closure of E Burnside Street from 94th to 99th avenues over I-205, Jan. 13-25"</p><p>They're also replacing some ancient railroad ties at the site in parallel work.</p><p>Sure, it may take 150 years, but eventually perennially cash-strapped Oregon gets it repaired! If... if the weather cooperates. Which, as they point out at the end of the email, applies here.</p><p>A more realistic announcement: "Sometime, in nice weather, maybe beginning on the 13th, we'll close the overpass to begin weather-dependent work there. Sometime, in nice weather, hopefully before summer arrives, we'll finish up!"</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/PBOT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PBOT</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/Portland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Portland</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/Burnside" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Burnside</span></a></p>
