"I wanted to pass on a compliment expressed at yesterday’s board meeting. Don McClave, presiding
officer (and president of the Portland Chamber of Commerce) yesterday noted that he has driven down
Interstate Ave twice in the last month. The first time, he saw the best construction traffic control he’d ever seen,
but didn’t pass that on (he was afraid it was a fluke).The second time he drove down the street, he saw the
same to paraphrase... a new level of attention to detail great performance."
"We all know that good traffic control on a job like this is nothing but diligence on 100 details redone every day so we can’t rest on our laurels. But I wanted you all to know that he effort is being noticed thanks, and please pass this compliment on to our partners at Stacy and Witbeck." - Neil McFarlane Executive Director TriMet Capital Projects and Facilities | |
