In planning
The Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) will design and construct sidewalk improvements, street trees, stormwater mitigation, and street lighting along NE Fremont Street between NE 118th Avenue and NE 122nd Avenue. Planning is underway. Design and construction will follow in 2026-2028.
2025 - 2028
Location description
NE Fremont Street, between NE 118th Avenue and NE 122nd Avenue
Overview
NE Fremont Street provides access to two Parkrose School District schools (Parkrose Middle School and Parkrose High School) and is classified as a Major City Walkway and Major City Bikeway. It is also a Local Transit Service Street, with TriMet's Route 73 accessible just east of the project limits on NE 122nd Avenue. Additionally, Parkrose District Transportation utilizes two westbound school bus stops on NE Fremont at NE 118th Avenue and NE 120th Avenue that serve Prescott Elementary School.
Despite these characteristics, NE Fremont lacks safe, comfortable, and continuous pedestrian facilities. This project will construct continuous sidewalks on the north side of NE Fremont between NE 118th and NE 122nd, especially for pedestrians getting to and from Parkrose Middle School, Parkrose High School, and for students catching the bus to and from Prescott Elementary School.
As part of this project, PBOT will also plant street trees, construct new curb ramps, and handle drainage for stormwater. PBOT will also evaluate where to add or improve street lighting.
This project is funded through the Portland Clean Energy Fund (PCEF) Collaborating for Climate Action program.

Project Background
The Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) identified this segment of NE Fremont Street as an important connection for students and families attending Parkrose Middle School, Parkrose High School, and Prescott Elementary School in the Parkrose School District. Members of the school community highlighted the challenges of walking and biking this corridor during a 2017 Safe Routes to School outreach process.
