Near-term recommended projects overview

North Portland in Motion Projects 

North Portland in Motion recommends two distinct project types, both of which are responsive to the needs and context of the street. These project recommendations are further enhanced with a collection of program and policy recommendations that are designed to be applied broadly and comprehensively throughout the peninsula. Considered together, these projects and programs support a complete and comprehensive network of safer, more welcoming, and more accessible streets.

I. Neighborhood Greenways

Neighborhood Greenways are calm, low-speed shared neighborhood streets that connect people to community destinations like schools, parks, and commercial areas.
