PedPDX Plan Still Available for Review!

Posted on by

Did you miss our PedPDX View + Review Party with Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT)?  Don’t despair!  There are still more events (see map below) and ways to participate!

PedPDX is Portland’s Citywide Pedestrian Plan. It establishes a Priority Pedestrian Network based on equity (race and income), safety (crash and crash risk factors), and demand (neighborhood centers and corridors). It also proposes new strategies and policies to advantage Portland pedestrians. This work is the result of public collaboration since early 2017. PedPDX could turn the tide on leveraging resources for significant pedestrian safety and access where it’s needed the most. PBOT is gathering additional public feedback to enhance this work before bringing it to City Council in June.

Join PBOT to watch short videos about PedPDX to learn the context and content of the plan, enjoy some delicious local food, and contribute survey responses to leverage your voice, needs and opinions. All attendees will receive a FREE PedPDX flashlight carabiner!
