What’s happening now?
September 2025: Construction work to enhance the crossings of NE 102nd Avenue at NE Morris, NE Thompson/Sacramento, and NE Hancock Streets is now complete. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we worked to make these crossing improvements.
Project Background
Work on NE 102nd Avenue has occurred in phases over the past five years. Phase 1 of the pilot included changing the road striping and installing flexible plastic posts for the segments of two-way protected bike lanes and to mark the pedestrian refuge islands. Phase 2 of the project added two new crossings and constructed permanent pedestrian islands, curb extensions, and curb ramps in the project area. The most recent phase of the project constructed permanent pedestrian islands and upgraded curb ramps and stormwater management.
This nearly two-mile corridor is on Portland’s High Crash Network, which means it is one of the top 30 streets for crashes in the city. This corridor is surrounded by homes, businesses, community centers, and schools, including Prescott Elementary School and Mt. Hood Community College.
