What's Happening Now?
Portland Bureau of Transportation's (PBOT) Safe Routes to School program received $1.88 million in grant funding in 2023 to help build this sidewalk project. Right now the project team is in the early stages of design.
Project Background and Description
This segment of SE 174th Avenue was identified as an important connection for students and families attending Powell Butte Elementary School in the Centennial School District. It is also a route used by Centennial Middle and High School students and families. Sidewalk infill here will also support a better walking connection for neighbors accessing Lynchwood Park. Walking routes and challenging connections were highlighted by school communities during a Safe Routes to School outreach process held throughout 2017.
You can read more about the planning process and see a map of citywide project locations and routes on this webpage.
Planned project elements will be shared on this page when they become available.
Project Funding
This project was made possible by funding from the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Competitive Infrastructure Grant awarded in 2023. Portland's SRTS program received $1.9 million in grant funding to support this project.
PBOT is responsible for a 20% funding match, which is being provided by General Fund dollars allocated to the Safe Routes to School program for use on traffic safety projects in East Portland.

Due to the complexity of the information the map provides and the currently available map platforms at the city, it will take some time to make adjustments. We thank you for your patience while we work on a technology-based solution. As we work toward providing accessibility, please contact email address and/or program name phone number to reach PBOT staff who can assist you to get the data you need from the map.
