Weird TriMet service alerts

NOTE: Many of these alerts were written by dispatchers who are not expected to be language experts, may not have time to proofread, and make mistakes like all humans.  They may have many other tasks in progress at the moment, such as dealing with buses that are already stuck due to the blockage or situations elsewhere.  While the errors probably should be forgiven, they can cause confusion or problems for those who try to follow them.

#88 Line 88 to Beaverton Transit Center:Regular route to Lombard and Canyon, right Farmington, left 217th north entrance, exit Canyon Road, left Canyon, right Lombard and regular route.
[How do you turn onto Farmington at Lombard and Canyon? Also, it should really be "right Beaverton-Hillsdale Hwy" as Farmington ends at Lombard, and not "exit Canyon Road" as the Beaverton-Hillsdale ramp goes directly to Canyon and not directly onto the highway]

#52 Line 52 the stop at Farmington and Murray to Beaverton Transit Center is NOT to be serviced during this detour Thank you.

#9 Line 9 to Portland: Regular route to Powell and Freeway then right Freeway to Division St, left Division, left 82nd, right Powell and regular route. until further notice.
[It seems "I-205" would be better than "Freeway"]
