Construction

As part of a large signals package, PBOT and the Safe Routes to School program have designated five locations where contractors will build new pedestrian traffic signals and beacons. The five intersections are located on key school walking routes across Portland.

PBOT construction crews will fill sidewalk gaps and build or upgrade corners and curb ramps to improve walking access between NE Couch Ct and NE Glisan along 113th Avenue.

Upcoming crosswalk and ADA curb ramp improvement projects along Primary Investment Routes located within the Portland Public Schools (PPS) district. Funded by the 2012 PPS Bond.

Construction crews will build a 10-foot concrete sidewalk with space for people walking and biking on the west side of SE 174th Ave between SE Stark St and Main St. New curb ramps and marked crosswalks will be installed, and street trees planted between the sidewalk and street.

Contractors will build sidewalk on the south side of NE Shaver between NE 115th Avenue and Parkrose Middle School campus.

PBOT crews will fill sidewalk gaps and improve pedestrian access at two locations along SW 35th Ave.

Once designs are complete, contractors will build new sidewalk and ADA curb ramps on the south side of N Willis Blvd between N Newman Ave and N Chautauqua Blvd, an essential connection for students, families and neighbors in the Portsmouth neighborhood.

Construction crews will install traffic calming speed bumps on SE 117th Ave between E Burnside St and SE Market St in the Mill Park and Hazelwood neighborhoods.

Traffic calming projects funded by the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program. Streets located along, and crossing, the SRTS Primary Investment Routes are considered for speed bumps and cushions.

Construction crews will build sidewalk and new ADA curb ramps on the south side of NE Shaver Street to connect this key school route for Parkrose Middle and High School students.
