7:45 TriMet: Update on Cedar Mill Shuttle Service and Line Changes
Faced with a large revenue
shortfall, Tri-Met is reacting by cutting low-performing routes. Steve Kautz, Service Program Manager
for TriMet, along with other TriMet staff will visit us again this month to give an update on their service
proposals for:
- Changing the Cedar Mill shuttle to a fixed route
- The proposal to discontinue low-volume Line 60-Leahy Road and the potential to cover some portion of it as part of the new shuttle route.
The goal of this meeting is to have the situation further explained to us as a result of TriMet’s outreach and study, and for
all concerned to put their heads together to find the best alternatives possible.

Washington County's unincorporated areas are represented by Citizens' Participation
Organizations or CPOs. CPO 1 is the organization that represents
Cedar Mill and Cedar Hills citizens' interests with Washington County
government.
The CPO 1 Friends website is temporarily out of service due to technical issues. We expect to have it back up, albeit in a different form, before long.
The Google Map of the CPO 1 "Connecting Our Neighborhoods" trails project is available here. You need to have a free Google account to be able to edit the map. Once you click on the link, be patient -- it takes a few minutes to load completely.
The Connecting Neighborhoods Subcommittee has begun meeting on the third Wednesday, 7:30 pm at Cedar Mill's Leedy Grange Hall. Sign up to stay informed about our activities.
OSU Extension Service provides the CPO newsletters. You can read them here,
and sign up to receive the free newsletter by mail or email here.
If you select to receive the newsletter by email,
you will receive a short monthly notice that the latest newsletter is posted
on the web. Please
consider the email option as it saves the CPO program money
on postage.
