Open While Under Construction
The Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) will create the Parkrose Neighborhood Greenway to establish low-stress neighborhood streets that are great places to walk, bike, and roll. The greenway will connect the Parkrose Neighborhood on NE 115th Ave and on NE Skidmore Street.
Construction Spring 2024
What's happening now?
PBOT's contractor Granite Construction and its subcontractors completed speed bump construction in March 2024. Other neighborhood greenway elements such as painting sharrows, painting new crosswalks, and installing new signage will be completed over the following month.
The project will include two phases.
Phase 1:
- Painting sharrows
- Installing speed bumps - COMPLETE
- Improving visibility as needed at intersections by pulling on-street parking back from corners - COMPLETE
- New striped crosswalks at NE Prescott St and NE 115th
Phase 2:
- Intersection improvement at NE Fremont Ct and NE 112th to encourage safe speeds
- Wayfinding signage
- Striped crosswalk at NE Shaver St (as part of NE Shaver Sidewalk Project: NE 115th to Parkrose Middle School)
Traffic diversion is not planned on this greenway due to low vehicle volumes.
