PBOT Traffic Advisory:

Expect potentially high traffic congestion in Lloyd District Monday morning for Salvation Army food box giveaway

PBOT staff worked with the Salvation Army to plan the event to minimize traffic impact on the surrounding area. Event entrance and exit at the Lloyd Center event will be on NE Halsey. People driving to the event should expect to line up in the right lane on eastbound NE Halsey to enter, and, if needed: Line up along NE Ninth Avenue northbound, westbound NE Multnomah, and southbound on NE 15th Avenue.

(May 1, 2020) The Portland Bureau of Transportation advises the traveling public to expect potentially high traffic congestion near the Lloyd Center Mall on Monday, May 4, as the Salvation Army conducts its first food box giveaway at that location. The event is expected to be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on a weekly basis during the COVID-19 emergency.
