ognize and support the use ot the arts

nizes the expanding role arts organiza­
tions are taking in the broader social,
educational, and economic arenas ot their
communities,” said Christine D Arcy,
Oregon Arts Commission director.
Arts Build Com m unities is de­
signed to broaden the impact o f the
arts in the community and foster com ­
munity partnerships. D 'A rcy said.
The program 's goal is to better con­
F riends

with specific problem s and opportu­
nities facing com m unities. The ini­
tiative also offers opportunities for
arts organizations to enhance their

B eginning July 15th, Tri-M et con­

a sw itch at NE l l " 1 and H olladay
Street. The w ork w ill m ean Eastside
M ax riders w ill experience delays
o f up 15-m inutes during rush hour,
and 5-7 m inute delays the rest o f the
day. The project w ill be com pleted
w ithin 2-3 w eeks, and no later than
T uesday, A ugust 3rd.
Because Eastside Max trains will
operate on a single track through the
Lloyd D istrict, Tri-M et m ust reduce
the num ber o f trains operating dur-
ing rush hour.
• Eastside M ax w ill operate ev­
ery 10 m inutes, even during rush
hour w hen trains run an average o f
every 7 m inutes.
• Because fewer Eastside Max
trains w ill be operating during rush
hour, custom ers should leave earlier
to get to and from work or plan an
alternate travel mode.
• Eastside Max trains will be more
crowded than usual during rush hour.
To avoid the crowd, riders should con­
sider taking a bus from Gateway or
