What's happening now?
Design is almost complete. Construction is currently expected to begin in spring of 2025.
Project background
This project is part of a larger effort by the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) to improve safety on 122nd Avenue, identified as a High Crash Corridor (see more on our Vision Zero page). These improvements are meant to make the road safer for pedestrians, people biking, and those accessing transit while also balancing the needs of freight and other modes of travel.
As part of this project, crews and contractors will construct new pedestrian crossings with signals along 122nd Avenue, one north of NE Davis Street and another north of SE Clinton Street.
In addition, lighting will be installed on 122nd Avenue between NE San Rafael Street and SE Foster Road to fill-in lighting gaps and improve visibility along the roadway.
Project funding
This $3.3 million project is funded by the voter-approved 10-cent gas tax known as Fixing Our Streets.
