Convert a travel lane or two to a protected bike facility to calm traffic and provide access to businesses for people that bike.

The Montavilla East Tabor Business Association is supportive of calming one-way traffic along Stark, specifically for their street fair but may be willing to explore more of a long-term approach.

Ongoing Projects

2 way auto travel, 2 way cycle track, dedicated streetcar lane (might be able to get support from Portland Streetcar, Killian Pacific)

Lots of dead space and wasted pavement that could be redesigned to reduce ped crossing distances, slow traffic, and provide pop-up holiday market opportunities. Potential to create diverters at Ankeny.

James Malbon Harrison, Caitlin Shelman

Opportunity for pedestrianization/greening

Converting a travel lane or two to a protected two-way bike facility next to space dedicated for walking. (Has support from Mayor Hales)

Currently functions as traffic sewer...should be main street, particularly with our friends at Pips and Bounce opening up here. (Might be able to get support from Killian Pacific)

Opportunity for permanent plaza

Great opportunities to coordinate with OPAL, Jade District, PCC

PSU has expressed interest in improving cycle routes to campus from NW Portland with demo project that could be done by students

Remove travel lane in each direction, convert to cycle tracks and extension of sidewalk space. (good follow-on to NE Broadway, where street cross-section can be tested)

Remove travel lane in each direction, convert to cycle tracks and extension of sidewalk space. (challenging project because no commercial street-facing properties) (NE Cezar Chavez and Sandy might work)

Ped promenade like Burlington VT -- with cross traffic at selected side streets. Alberta so crowded with cars...they barely move anyway. Make this a ped destination. (Would impact transit, loading/unloading for businesses)

Convert slip lane to not allow cars, activate the potential vibrancy of that corner. Community groups are already actively making that space better: http://arleta-triangle.blogspot.com/ & https://www.facebook.com/ArletaTriangleProject (Main challenge here is no business windows adjoining space..gonna have to reach for this one)

Difficult for peds to cross auto/bike traffic at the moment

Currently difficult for peds to cross street, particularly during rush hour

Unmarked crosswalks not getting yeilding compliance from drivers...need to mark

Mark all crosswalks at unsignaled intersections. Has support from Rob Burchfield at PBOT.

Green street design, crosswalk improvement

Student project for PSU Civil Engineering

Improve bike facilities, activate sidewalk edge with new commercial pop-ups PSU Project.

Create pocket park in a dead space in the public right of way. Neighborhood has been working on this for years, and has hired architects to mock up designs. It's right across the street from Grain and Gristle/Pok Pok Noi and wouldn't take much effort to activate the space.http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2012/04/sabin_triangle_makeover_projec.html

We need to brainstorm project locations on the green loop

ENgage PSU Engineering students to plan TCP & PNCA students to do programming

Terrible bike crash here: http://bikeportland.org/2015/05/10/local-dad-calls-super-legal-slow-powell-boulevard-monday-rush-hour-143009#more-143009

Shift lanes north & create biking and walking trail overlooking Swan Island!
