Abstract

The city of Portland today will apply for a $300,000 federal highway enhancement grant that it hopes to use to make a 1.2-mile stretch of Stevens Avenue more pedestrian friendly. The project will reduce the width of the travel lanes, add bicycle lanes and install a series of impediments to slow drivers. Around 15,000 motorists travel through the area daily, and a study found that 85 percent of them drove at speeds between 33 and 48 mph in the 30 mph zone. Details.
