In-person District Workshops - Thank you for joining us!

PBOT, along with other agency and community partners, hosted three District Workshops this summer focused on three different segments of 82nd Avenue: North, Center, and South. These workshops took a deeper diver into the transportation issues and opportunities along 82nd Avenue. Workshops were in-person and open to the public.

Four people standing and one person in a wheelchair look at display boards with information about 82nd Avenue projects. — Over 160 community members attended three district workshops in summer 2023.

Project Overview

After making the most critical repairs, PBOT will identify and prioritize future investments for a better 82nd Avenue. Over the next two years, PBOT will conduct broad and inclusive community engagement and work directly with community-based organizations and agency partners to determine what the bureau should focus on for improving 82nd Avenue long-term. Funding will support:

	ADDITIONAL SAFETY & MAINTENANCE PROJECTS The Critical Fixes investments will address the most immediate infrastructure needs along 82nd Avenue but not all of them. PBOT will develop a list of additional safety and maintenance projects for 82nd Avenue through data analysis, City policy guidance, and a broad and inclusive public process throughout 2023.
	COMMUNITY STABILIZATION Deploy a range of strategies to slow and mitigate displacement of residents and businesses along 82nd Avenue.
	FUTURE TRANSIT PLANNING PBOT will work closely with Metro, TriMet, and community-based organizations to decide on future investments that support transit along 82nd Avenue. Click here to learn more about Metro's 82nd Avenue transit project

Community calls for Civic Corridor Investment Strategy

The jurisdictional transfer of 82nd Avenue and Critical Fixes investments are the culmination of years of work by community and their state and local representatives. Community advocates have put lots of resources into developing a vision for 82nd Avenue and have worked hard to hold local governments accountable for addressing the urgent repair and safety needs along the corridor.
