What's happening now?
Project completed in 2024.
Project overview
For this project, PBOT will make pedestrian safety improvements at NE Glisan Street at NE 80th Avenue, including ADA curb ramps, marked crosswalks, pedestrian refuge islands, and street lighting improvements.
Parking impacts
This project includes minor parking programming changes, which were informed by engagement with neighboring businesses. Some blocks will update from the current 1-hour time limit to a 2-hour time limit. One ADA parking space will be added as part of the project, and the project will result in the addition of one general parking space to the area. Two to three parking spaces will be added to the north side of Glisan just east of 80th, where there is currently a merge lane. One to two parking spaces will be removed from the south side of Glisan just west of 80th, to improve pedestrian visibility and safety.
In coordination with this PBOT project, TriMet is removing two bus stops at 80th and Glisan.
Traffic impacts
This project will shorten the westbound merge lane on Glisan approaching the 80th Avenue intersection. At the intersection, left turns will continue to be permitted from all directions. After construction, people driving east or west on Glisan will be able to make a left turn onto 80th from the travel lane, instead of the center turn lane.
Project timeline
Construction will begin on Monday, August 5, and is expected to take two months.
