Sidewalk Improvements
Portland’s sidewalk system is made up of three elements: sidewalks, corners, and curbs. Sidewalks are a crucial safety tool. Research has shown that sidewalks that are physically separated from streets can help to prevent 88% of crashes involving pedestrians. Sidewalks are also an important community amenity. They make it easier for people to get around their neighborhoods, access transit, and make their way to local businesses, parks, and schools.
Fixing Our Streets sidewalk improvements will make an immediate impact by addressing long-standing needs for better and safer pedestrian connections to schools, community centers, and other key services.
