June 24, 2025 Update
Contractors with PBOT have ordered materials and are preparing for construction. Construction is anticipated to begin in August 2025 and last six months.
Project Background
Portland’s High Crash Network makes up 8% of Portland’s streets and is where 57% of serious injuries crashes and fatalities occur. Using a data-driven Vision Zero approach, PBOT has identified street lighting as a critical improvement to make these streets safer. Recent analysis indicates a number of our High Crash Network streets in some of our most diverse neighborhoods lack adequate street lighting. In addition, public engagement work by PBOT has found that people of color feel less safe walking on poorly lit streets.
This project will improve streetlighting on NE Killingsworth Street from 42nd Avenue to Lombard Street.
Project Funding
$1 million from Fixing Our Streets.
