Videos
Tackle
Consum er
Com plaints
The Better Business Bureau is
joining forces with our public li­
brary system to distribute videos
on some o f the most troubling
issues facing consumers.
The series was created to re­
spond to current needs, with fu­
ture video topics driven by con­
sumer demands.
“If you Te having difficulty with
any consumer issue, call the BBB
and let us know, then check the
video section of your public li­
brary. If the topic is not yet avail­
able, tell your local librarian and
stay tuned,’’ said Robert Andrew
of the Better Business Bureau serv­
ing Oregon and western Washing­
ton.
The video series includes topics
like: Buyinga Recreational Vehicle,
Corrective Eye Surgery: reading
between the lines, Know Fraud:
don’t be a victim, Opportunists
Knock: fraud against the elderly,
and SelfDefense forCar Expenses.
Car repair complaints are among
the most common problems re­
ported to the Better Business Bu­
reau.
The Car Expenses tape is loaded
with advice to help the average car
owner get his or her dollar’s worth
and is essential for all public librar­
ies and strongly recommended for
high schools as well.

Construction to
Close West
Burnside
West Burnside Street will close
for up to three months to build a
portionoftheTannerCreek Stream
Diversion Project.
The closure will begin on about
July 9 and may last until mid-Octo­
ber. Tanner Creek is one o f several
city projects to reduce combined
sewer overflows to the Willamette
River. The creek was piped in to the
city sewer system decades ago.
Today, the relatively clean creek
water contributes to the sew erover-
flows. New pipes will take Tanner
Creek out o f the sewer and carry it
directly to the Willamette River.
West Burnside will be closed to
through traffic between 14th and
19th Avenues to allow construc­
tion crews to dig a diagonal trench
across the street and install a six-
foot-diameter pipe.
