vitamins.
For specialized custom er nu
tritional needs, a staff nutrition
ist will be available, by appoint
ment, for free consultations. In
addition. New Seasons Market
o ffers a program o f health
classes, tours and lectures all
o f which are open and free to
the public.
“Most of the staff we hired for
the store live right in this neigh
borhood,” said Peg O ’ Hara, man
ager of the Arbor Lodge store.
"W e're really committed to mak
ing shopping here the best pos
sible experience it can be.”
Designed to minimize its im
pacts on the environment, the
store incorporates sustainable
features including highly efficient
lighting, an enhanced reliance on
natural light, table tops made from
sorghum wheatstock, and a re
cy cled p la s tic lam in ate for
countertops.
New Seasons Market has also
made a concerted effort to reduce
the amount of stormwater enter
ing Portland’s sewer system from
the site. A garden sits above the
store’s entryway, capturing run
off from the roof. After entering
the garden the water is absorbed

and filtered and the excess is fun-
neled into several bio-sw ales
(planted ditches) that ring the
site. These swales also receive
run off from the parking lot. The
result is that no storm water run
off from the property goes into
Portland's combined sewer sys
tem.
“We have eagerly anticipated
the opening of the new Arbor Lodge
store,” said Chris Duffy, chair of
the Arbor Lodge Neighborhood
Association. "This is a wonderful
addition to our neighborhood and
a real asset to the entire north Port
land community.”

2005 fall service update
Now arriving: bus and MAX info by phone
Transit Tracker tells you exactly when your bus or MAX is coming, right over
the phone. You'll get an up-to-the-minute arrival countdown, plus we’ll tell
you about any delays or detours. Grab a cup of coffee, run another errand
or finish one more project; you’ve got time.
Just call 503-238-RIDE (7433) and enter your Stop ID number when
prompted. You can look up Stop ID numbers on trimet.org—and to make
it even easier, Stop ID numbers are being posted this fall at transit centers,
MAX stations and most stops along Frequent Service bus lines.
