Critical Fixes: Near-term safety and maintenance improvements
Major Maintenance 2023 Public Involvement Summary
Last year, the project team sought to build awareness of the project, project design elements, and solicit feedback early in the project design process. PBOT invited participation through activities like online surveys, at in- person workshops and tabling at local events, community walks, and presentations to community stakeholders. The project team engaged broadly with stakeholders and communities along the 82nd Avenue corridor, including community-based organizations, agency partners, school representatives, business managers and owners, property owners and community members.
In total, the project team engaged over 5,000 people! Read our 2023 Major Maintenance Public Involvement Summary to learn more about these engagement activities and what the project team heard from the community last year
PBOT construction on six pedestrian crossings continues
Contractors with PBOT continue construction on six pedestrian crossings, after pausing work due to the winter ice and snow event.
In the next two years, construction activity will take place on 82nd Avenue at NE Beech, Klickitat, and Schuyler streets; and SE Clinton, Ash, and Schiller streets. Street lighting improvements will also begin in 2024 and will bring street light brightness up to current safety standards by adding lighting infill along 82nd Avenue from NE Lombard to SE Clatsop streets and on NE Halsey Street from NE 112th to 162nd avenues.
Thank you for your cooperation and patience while we complete this work!
