April's 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 those errors probably should be forgiven, they can cause confusion or problems for those who try to follow them.

#70 Line 70 Northbound detour until further notice CANCEL THE detour STARTING AT 17th and Ellis. Regular route!

#28 line 28. Regular route to Harrison and Hwy 224, left Hwy 224, right Monroe, left 21st to Harrison and regular route until further notice.
[should be "right 21st"]

#19 Line 19 outbound Regular route to 28th and Knapp, right Knapp, left Rex and regular route. Due to low wire.
[missing "left 27th" after "right Knapp"]

#70 LINE 70: the inbound stops at 32nd & 30th are closed PERMANENTLY. Passengers can board stop before or after.
[which way is inbound on a cross-town line, and if it's referring to the stops on Broadway (the only ones that would make sense) it would also affect Line 77]

#4 Line 4 to Gresham: Regular route right at Kilpatrick and Brandon, Flaggers will flag you through, one lane is open, use caution when going through.

#28 #31 #75 #152 LINES 28,31,75,152: there is a train blocking at 25th and Harrison. Please use Monroe to the south to detour around both directions.
[how?]

#4 Line 4 outbound detour: Regular route to Kilpatrick and Delaware, left Delaware, right Winchell, right Wabash, left Willis and regular route.
[Winchell doesn't go through to Wabash]

#44 Due to the Race for the Roses, for trips to St Johns, no service between NW Everett & 5th and the Rose Quarter Transit Center.
[as far as I know, that would affect only one stop, NW Everett and 2nd]

#8 From 5:30am to Noon on Sunday, April 19, for trips to Dekum & MLK, no service to the stops between NW Everett & 2nd and NE Multnomah & 2nd due to the Race for the Roses.
#77 From 5:30am to Noon on Sunday, April 13, for trips to Troutdale, no service to the stops between NW Everett & 2nd and NE Multnomah & 2nd due to the Race for the Roses.
[this would affect just one stop, the Rose Quarter TC]

#58 Line 58 to Portland: Regular route to Columbia & 11th right 11th left Market left 4th left Jefferson and regular route.
#58 Line 58 to Beaverton Transit Center: Regular route to Jefferson & 5th left 5th left Columbia right 3rd right Clay right 10th left Jefferson and regular route.

#75 Line 75 to St Johns: Regular route to 42nd and Lombard then veer left 42nd to Lombard, left Lombard, left 33rd and regular route until further notice.
["42nd and Lombard" should really be "42nd and Holman" because you're not at Lombard there, and "left 33rd" should really be "left ramp to 33rd, cross 33rd into Dekum"]

#75 Line 75 to Milwaukie Transit Center: Regular route to Dekum and 32nd then left 32nd, right Lombard, veer right onto 42nd and regular route until further notice.
[Milwaukie TC hasn't existed in years]

#77 Line 77 inbound Regular route to glisan and 5th left 5th right Flanders right Broadway left Glisan and regular route until further notice.
[turning right off of 5th is not legal]

#9 #33 Line 9, 33 to north term: Regular route to 6th and Everett, then right Everett, left 4th, left Hoyt, right 6th and regular route until further notice.
[Hoyt doesn't go through to 6th, the Greyhound station is there]

#31 #75 Lines 31,75 to Milwaukie Regular route to 24th and Harrison then right Harrison, left 17th into right Harrison and regular route.
[this makes no sense; 24th is a side street that goes just over one block]

#15 #51 Lines 15 & 51. Due to construction at Washington and 4th, you will need to get the attention of the flagger and he will flag you thru. Bus only. Until 7am. After 7am one lane will be open to all.

#4 Line 4 Westbound regular route to St. Johns: via Killingsworth at Brandon to Delaware. left Argyle St. left DELAWARE right WILLIS left BURRAGE right ARLINGTON right Peninsular and Regular route.
["Killingsworth" should be "Kilpatrick", and if buses are taking it to Delaware, they can't take Argyle to it]

#20 #53 #57 #58 #61 #76 #78 #88 Starting at 9 a.m. on Friday, April 17, the entrance to the 10-minute parking area at Beaverton Transit Center will be closed due to paving. Please do not pull into the bus only areas. The drop-off zone will re-open by about 3 p.m.

#20 Line 20 - the Westbound stop on east Burnside will be closed from now until 5 pm for emergency sewer construction.
[East Burnside and what?]

#87 LINE 87 to Gateway: Regular route to 158th and Airport Way, left 158th, right Mason, right 148th, left Airport Way, & Regular route To Rockwood: Regular route to 148th and Airport Way, right 148th, left Mason, left 158th, right Airport Way & Regular route UNTIL: accident cleared.
#87 Update 6:35a Regular route to Gateway LINE 87 To Rockwood: Regular route to 148th and Airport Way, right 148th, left Mason, left 158th, right Airport Way & Regular route UNTIL: accident cleared.
[I'm wondering if it was forgotten that buses normally turn left onto 148th to make a deviation to PHC]

#70 LINE 70 Southbound: Regular route to 17th and Milport, left Milport, X-Mcloughlin to left Main, left Harrison & Regular route Northbound: Regular route to Main and Harrison, right Main, left Milport X-Mcloughlin, right 17th & Regular route.
[southbound should be "right Main, left Jackson"]

#4 #8 #44 #77 Lines 4,44,77,8:EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, BACK TO Regular route. THE RUN IS OVER!!!
[YAY!!!]

#77 Line 77: TO MONTGOMERY PARK TO MONTGOMERY PARK ONLY!!! BACK TO Regular route at 9:15.

#4 #35 #44 Lines 4,44,35: EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, START YOUR PART 2nd detour STAY ON PART 2nd until further notice.

#77 Line 77: to Montgomery Park: right 13th, left Johnson, left 16th, right Glisan and regular route until further notice. This is a change from your regular route detour.

#4 #44 Sunday April 12, from 8 a.m. until 11:30 a.m., no service to St Johns between West Burnside & 5th/6th Ave and NE Multnomah & Wheeler due to the Bridge to Brews race.
[yet]
#35 Sunday April 12, from 8 a.m. until 11:30 a.m., trips to University of Portland will not serve stops on N Interstate due to the Bridge to Brews race. Use Line 4 stop on NE Wheeler at Multnomah (Stop ID 1097).
[So is Line 35 going to serve a stop that's closed for Line 4? Or does "NE Multnomah & Wheeler" for Line 4 really mean the Rose Quarter TC stop that's right before the intersection? Also, why does it say "5th/6th" when one direction is given?]

#17 Sunday April 12, from 8 a.m. until 11:30 a.m., no service to stops between NW Broadway & Pine and NE Broadway & Glisan due to the Bridge to Brews race.
[neither NW Broadway & Pine nor NE Broadway & Glisan exist]

#4 Line 4 continue detour until further notice - Make sure to service stops along detour Thanks.

#4 Line 4 Westbound detour - Regular route to Division and 92nd left 92nd right Powell right 82nd left Powell and regular route
["left Powell" should be "left Division"]

#17 Line 17 inbound regular route to 27th and Prescott, right Prescott, left Sklidmore, to 27th and regular route Reverse outbound as needed due to Construction.
[Prescott does not lead to Skidmore]

#32 #33 #34 #79 No service to southbound stops on McLoughlin Blvd at River Road or Clackamette Dr. Buses will be serving the Oregon City Transit Center, due to a blocking traffic accident.
[Don't they always serve Oregon City TC?]

#32 #33 #34 #79 Lines 32,33,34 & 79 there is a blocking accident on McLoughlin just south of Arlington - for Southbound buses on McLoughlin left Arlington to Southbound I-205 to OC exit and regular route- formal reroutes to come.

#9 #17 #19 on the Ross Island Bridge, westbound buses cross the Hawthorne Bridge and do not serve stops south of Lincoln on the westside.

#71 Line 71 Northbound: Regular route Southbound: Regular route to 52nd and Woodstock, left Woodstock, right 72nd, right Flavel, left 52nd, & Regular route.
[buses do not regularly use 52nd south of Flavel]

#44 Stops on N Willamette at Washburne will close for technical borings from 7 a.m. Thursday through 5 p.m. Friday.

#12 #70 Line 70 12 and Gideon is clear. Back to regular route.
[Should not have gone out for Line 12]

#75 Line 75 to 45th: Regular route to Cesar Chavez and Holgate right Holgate left 41st right Steele left Cesar Chavez and regular route.
#75 Line 75 to 45th: Regular route to Cesar Chavez and Holgate left Holgate right 41st right Steele left Cesar Chavez and regular route.
[which one is it?]

[should be "left Alder"]

[it is a left turn to get onto the bridge]

#17 Line 17 outbound detour: Regular route to Holgate and 104th, right 104th, left Powell, left 82nd, right Holgate and regular route.
[I think this should be for inbound]

MAX Green Line is experiencing delays due to an earlier mechanical train issue. Expect delays of about 20 minutes through 1:45 p.m.
[A mechanical train?]

#9 No service to eastbound stops on SE Powell between 50th / Foster and 82nd, due to a traffic accident at 55th.
[can't find a better detour that bypasses less stops?]
