City code section
- A. A public utility or construction vehicle engaged on or adjacent to the Transit Mall may enter upon, park and use the Transit Mall and/or the auxiliary vehicular lanes if the Transit Mall and/or auxiliary vehicular lanes are closed by permit from the City Engineer per Title 17, or TriMet access permit, and the vehicle is specifically authorized to do so by the permit.
- B. Except in the case of emergency and as otherwise provided for herein, the City Engineer may not issue permits for the use of auxiliary vehicular lanes between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. The City Engineer may issue permits for Saturday and/or Sunday, but permits may be short term closures as required for operational safety of the service provider and may not interrupt TriMet service. The City Administrator may approve a short-term (three days or fewer) permit, during otherwise restricted times, with agreement from Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon (TriMet). The City Administrator will establish rules and procedures for this type of closure.
- 1. Emergency means any unscheduled repair of existing facilities that must be accomplished immediately to protect the life, health and wellbeing of the public, or to protect public or private property. Under this definition, “emergency” work encompasses only immediately required repairs and does not include extensive replacement or upgrading of the facility.
- C. The City Administrator may issue permits for the use of auxiliary vehicular lane on SW 6th Ave between SW Taylor St and SW Morrison St to accommodate events permitted and authorized by Pioneer Courthouse Square, Inc. as may be deemed appropriate in the judgment of the City Engineer.
- D. All permits will include a traffic control plan approved by the City Engineer and Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon (TriMet).
