Actually, we met once several years ago.
I had written a tongue and cheek short story about a small altercation I had with a road supervisor at the coner of 5th and oak. I called him "little Napolean". You were not particularly happy with my analogy!

Thanks Very Much,

Al Margulies



BIZZARE INCIDENT ON THE 78

LETTER SENT TO PEGGY HANSON

Director of Transportation Hansen; <HansonP@trimet.org>

There is a bus parking problem at Washington square in that the busy 76/78 line is ‘sharing’ a spot with the sparsely used 45 line.

I would like to bring to your attention that there is an empty spot in front of the outbound 76/78 bus which could be assigned to the 45 alleviating this problem.

Currently that spot is being used for out of service buses.

I have made the following video’s which you might find helpful in reviewing this problem.

Any help you could provide would be appreciated.
