“Come hear about residential traffic calming concepts that could take Portland to the next level, making our streets safer for children, seniors, and people with disabilities – and more attractive for walking and cycling. From ‘bicycle boulevards’ to ‘Safe Routes to School’ to ‘home zones,’ there are a lot of ideas that could make our great neighborhoods even better.
The SE Uplift Land Use and Sustainability Committee is hosting this presentation that will be given by Greg Raisman. Greg lives in southeast and is a Traffic Safety Specialist with the Portland Bureau of Transportation.
Residential Traffic Calming Presentation
SE Uplift Land Use Committee
Monday, January 11th
7pm to 8pm
3534 SE Main St
Fireside Room
Our regular land use committee meeting will follow the presentation. We look forward to seeing you for this interesting and engaging conversation about how to make our neighborhoods safer.
Unfortunately, this presentation takes place the same time as our FOPONA meeting. Hopefully we’ll have some folks there that can report back. The thought of improving our streets, and making our thoroughfares more welcoming and calm for drivers, bikers and walkers, is great…especially in SE. To piggy back on this topic, the Transportation Task Force (TTF) is meeting this Wednesday to talk about similar issues surrounding the Lents URA, of which the Foster Streetscape plan will be discussed. Hopefully some of these discussions and planning will come to fruition.
