Lloyd to Woodlawn Neighborhood Greenway
Thank you for participating in the NE 9th Ave Neighborhood Greenway Community Design Meeting and survey.
Hundreds of people participated in person and online to share local knowledge with the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) about how to welcome the neighborhood greenway through the King Neighborhood area.
Many design elements were influenced by this feedback. Among them, was the proposed traffic diverter at the crossing of NE 9th and Killingsworth. There was a clear lack of community support for this type of traffic pattern change. As a part of this project, PBOT will not be installing this diverter.
What's Happening Now?
This project will now enter its design phase with construction anticipated to begin in 2020.
