Alternate Walkways in Brentwood-Darlington

Posted on by
Why: Our neighborhood needs safe places to walk and many of our streets lack sidewalks. The Portland Bureau of Transportation is proposing several new types of Alternative Walkways as an affordable way to create safe places to walk. Sidewalks can be so expensive that the City can’t afford to install them, leaving us with mud or gravel and no safe place to walk.
 
What: Brentwood-Darlington Neighborhood Association and the Portland Bureau of Transportation are hosting a conversation about building new Alternative Walkways in our area. You are invited to join us, learn more, and provide your input on which types of walkways would work best from your perspective.
 
When: April 18th from 7:00pm – 8:30pm
 
Where: Brentwood Darlington Community Center, 7211 SE 62nd Ave. Portland, OR 97206
 
Who: You, your neighbors, and friends.  Everyone is welcome!

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!
