Critical Fixes: Near-term safety and maintenance improvements
PBOT construction on six pedestrian crossings continues
Contractors with PBOT continue construction on six pedestrian crossings this month. Planned construction activities in December include underground and sewer work on NE/SE 82nd Avenue at the intersections of:
- NE Klickitat
- NE Schuyler
- NE Beech
- SE Clinton
The new crossings are being delivered together with street lighting improvements on 82nd Avenue from NE Lombard to SE Clatsop streets and on NE Halsey Street from NE 112th to 162nd avenues. Street lighting improvements will begin in 2024 and will bring street light brightness up to current safety standards by adding lighting infill along the corridor.
Thank you for your cooperation and patience while we complete this work!
