Start planning your multi-modal trips this month!  On October 15 you’ll be able to create a trip that combines transit and biking with TriMet’s new OpenTripPlanner (OTP) program.  By combining these two modes, OTP allows users to plan trips that were otherwise impossible with the old TriMet Trip Planner tool or Google Maps.

TriMet’s trip planning site will offer the following new features:

• A Travel by Modes option allowing the user to choose Walk Only, Bicycle, or Transit & Bicycle
• A Bike Preference Triangle offering info on Distance, Topography, and Facility Type
• A Bike Elevation Chart
• CarShare locations
• Open Street Map Data – recently updated maps to reflect accurate transit, bike, and pedestrian infrastructure

Southbound Interstate 5 exit 299A will be closed for nighttime work on the Gibbs Street Pedestrian Bridge from 8:00 pm until 5:00 am on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week (June 13 – 17).  Exit 299A, the Oregon 43/Macadam Avenue/Lake Oswego exit from the Marquam Bridge, is being closed at night to minimize traffic impacts and delays.  Occasional overnight closures will continue during the duration of the project.

Southbound I-5 traffic will be detoured toward the Morrison Bridge and onto Highway 43/Macadam Avenue via SW Naito Parkway, the US 26 Ross Island Bridge approach, SW Kelly Street, SW Curry Street and SW Hood Avenue. Motorists should look for the Highway 43 South detour signs and exit the freeway approximately 1.5 miles north of the closed exit.

The City of Portland and the Oregon Department of Transportation are building the 700-foot Gibbs Street Pedestrian Bridge over Interstate 5 to connect the historic Lair Hill neighborhood to the South Waterfront district.  It is scheduled to be completed in January 2012.

More information about the Gibbs Street Pedestrian Bridge can be found at www.gibbsbridge.org.

Construction on the Portland-Milwaukie Light Rail Bridge is set to begin July 1.  In mid June, contractor Kiewit Infrastructure West will position construction barges on the Willamette River between the Marquam and Ross Island bridges.  On June 15, slow/no wake and exclusion zones will take effect to ensure the safety of boaters, paddlers, swimmers, and construction workers.

These zones are­:

• A bank-to-bank, slow-no-wake zone for 500 feet upstream and downstream from the bridge project, effective June 15, 2011 through December 2012.
• An exclusion zone under the work bridge trestles and under the swing radius of the cranes.
  

Please see the Map for more details of the latest developments.
