      <![CDATA[ROM - the Milwaukie link is different and the two don't connect. That could be a smart idea, though.<br>
<br>
Matt - that trail (from Foster to CTC) is going to open in September. Mary Fetsch says that portion COULD open now, but they got stimulus funds to put in lighting, so they're keeping it closed while they put in lights over the summer. "Not sure about opening the portion south of gladstone," write Fetsch.<br>

      <![CDATA[Sarah - the real question is, did they build the bridge over Foster yet?  (i.e. the one for the multi-use path)  Tri-Met stated 3 years ago that it would be built as part of the project, and it was dangled like a carrot as payment for closing the path for 2+ years and diverting everyone to 92nd Avenue.  Have they built it yet, and will that also open in September?  I haven't been out there lately, and assumed that the path was riding over Foster on the light-rail bridge, but if <a href="http://bikeportland.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">bikeportland.org</a> is correct, that seems to not be the case.

      <![CDATA[A load of suits boarded outside my work (at the psu urban plaza stop), and I watched it take off (not that I haven't seen this train going by for the past month). And I wondered, "I wonder if Sarah Mirk is on that?" And she was! <br>
<br>
So, when the ped/transit bridge is built, this train will connect to Milwaukie? But it won't be a full loop?
