   I'm checking my email so you don't have to check yours again.

   Fan mail from a flounder? Nope. PBOT is being a downer. Who doesn't want to drive through mudslides?

   "(Sunday Feb. 23, 2025) The Portland Bureau of Transportation advises the traveling public that NW Cornell Road will be closed to all traffic all day on Monday and one lane on NW Thompson will also be closed for the same timeframe.

   Both will have impacts on the Monday morning commute in the area.

   We ask the public to avoid these areas, and expect delays if traveling nearby.

   NW Cornell Road is closed to all travelers, between NW Skyline and NW Thompson Road. Local access for residents in the closure area will be allowed.
   The westbound travel lane on NW Thompson is closed from NW Pinnacle Drive to NW Miller Road. This slide is at 8450 NW Thompson, the road just west of the intersection of NW Thompson Road and NW Skyline Blvd.

   The duration of the closures may change. The timeframe for the closures depends on the results of inspections and the work of road crews clearing debris on Monday.

   Heavy rain over the weekend contributed to these incidents -- the first landslides to require closures on major thoroughfares this winter."

     @steter it seems like we could put some effort into controlling the ivy and maintaining a stand of native trees and shrubs on those slopes instead of annually shoveling the hillside off of the streets there
