Portland has slapped a second fine on the federal fence surrounding the Mark O. Hatfield U.S. Courthouse.
The city's Bureau of Environmental Services announced a $20,000 enforcement action against the U.S. General Services Administration on Sept. 10, and says it will seek another $20,000 each day if the fence still stands beginning Monday, Sept. 14.
The Portland Bureau of Transportation has levied a $500 penalty every 15 minutes on the iron barricade since July 28, saying it illegally blocks a bike lane on Southwest Third Avenue.
PBOT confirmed to Pamplin Media Group that the
fee is still active, and recently topped $2.3 million.
