Weird TriMet service alerts

#8 Buses turn around at SW Broadway & Montgomery.
[And what about service past there?]


#15 LINE 15 outbound: Regular route to 25th and Belmont, left 25th, right Morrison, right 26th, must make complete stop before left Belmont, & Regular route.
[make that stop, there is a stop sign there!]

#94 No service to the southbound stop on I-5 Off Ramp at SW Lower Boones Ferry. Buses stay on Barbur Blvd.
[I think that should have been for Line 96, and the 96 can't "stay" on Barbur since it normally doesn't use it]

#17 Line 17 outbound detour: Regular route to Alberta and 27th, right Alberta, left 33rd, left Killingsworth, right 27th & Regular route; inbound detour: Regular route to Killingsworth and 27th, left Killingsworth, right 33rd, right Alberta, left 27th & Regular route until further notice.
[minor, but they could have used 30th like Line 72 does and save 6 blocks each way]

All elevators at the Gateway parking garage are out of service. A contract service technician has been dispatched. Note that these elevators are for parking garage access only. The Gateway platforms are at street level.
[yep, Gateway is at street level]

#50 Line 50 is detoured for snow: NO Leahy loop.
[what is the Leahy loop?]

#12 LINE 12: regular route to sandy and Davis, RT-Davis, RT-12th, LT-Lloyd Blvd, LT-MLK, RT-Burnside and regular route until clear.
[should be Couch, not Burnside; there was another detour put out that had the same problem]

#9 Line 9 outbound To Gresham:Regular route to Powell and 8th, left 8th, right Division, right 26th, left Powell and regular route.
[it is not possible to turn left onto 8th from Powell]

#45 No service to Hillsdale. Buses stay on Multnomah to Barbur Blvd.
[this was given out on Sunday, when the route usually doesn't go to Barbur Blvd; though it should be noted this was during the storm]

#22 Due to unknown, no service east of 134th. Buses use 134th to Prescott to turn around.
["unknown"?]

 #12 Due to a bus blocking the entrance of Barbur Transit Center, buses are stopping on the street in front of and across from the transit center.
[additionally, the e-mail version of this included Line 94, which wasn't running on that day]

#16 No service to Linton and Sauvie Island. Buses stop in St Johns.
[buses always "stop" in St Johns, "Trips are ending" would be better]

#44 Line 44, to PCC Sylvania: Stay on Capital Hwy. both in and outbound, do not veer right onto Troy St. in Multnomah Village Additional: PCC is CLOSED use Kruse Way on your gate closure routing.
[it seems odd to go all the way down to Kruse Way]

#52 Due to gate closure, no service into PCC Rock Creek campus. Transfer to line 47 or 67 for service north of West Union Rd.
[this was sent out on a Saturday when the 47 does not run]

Line 75-Cesar Chavez/Lombard is not serving NAYA
[this was sent out on a Saturday when there is no service to NAYA]

Elevators at Sunset Transit Center and NE 60th Ave MAX stations are out of service due to snow and ice. Maintenance is working on repair. Stomp your feet before entering elevators to avoid tracking in snow.
[stomp those feet!]

#6 Line 6. inbound. to Portland from Jantzen beach. Regular route to I-5 at MLK, continue I-5 Southbound., Exit Delta park, left Victory, left I-5 Northbound. on ramp, Exit Marine drive, right marine way, right Vancouver Way and regular route until further notice.
[it is not possible to turn left onto Victory as it is a right-hand loop ramp; also,  it is not possible to exit Marine Drive after getting on from Victory Blvd as the two ramps are braided; also I'm pretty sure it would be a left onto Marine Way]

#20 LINE 20's the 20's currently east of 23rd, turn around at Burnside and tichner, it's the short line 20 route. thank you all.

#52 LINE 52, at the stop sign in the parking lot make a right hand turn to leave the parking lot at west Union. RT-west union LT-185th and regular route.

#47 Line 47, due to blocking accident, buses are detoured as follows: Northbound regular route to 185th and Bronson, continue Bronson, right Parkview, left 174the, then regular route. reverse Southbound until clear.
[should be continue 185th, not Bronson]

Elevators are not working at Hollywood/NE 42nd Ave TC MAX Station, NE 60th Ave, or NE 82nd Ave MAX Stations. Those reliant on elevators can take Line 77 buses between the 42nd Ave or 82nd Ave stations. 60th Ave is accessible with a transfer between Line 77 and Line 71.
[what if your trip involves one of those and another station?  should say to transfer to Line 77 at Rose Quarter]

#15 For trips to NW 23rd, no service to stops between SE Morrison & 14th and W Burnside & 18th. Buses will use Burnside to cross the river.
[it would be good to mention if buses are stopping on Burnside as that's a long ways between stops]

#15 Line 15 Westbound detour: Regular route to Morrison and 14th, right 14th, left Burnside to 18th and regular route Until clear.
[it would be good to say whether SE or SW Morrison, both could apply]
