Open house set for

Outer Powell Safety Project

 

ODOT will host an open house on Tuesday March 21 to discuss US 26: Outer Powell Transportation Safety Project.

 

The drop-in open house will run from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Earl Boyles Elementary School Cafeteria at 10822 S.E. Bush St. in Portland.

 

The open house will give the public an opportunity to learn and talk about the project’s design to improve safety on Southeast Powell Boulevard from 122nd Avenue to 136th Avenue.

Improvements include sidewalks, bike lanes, center turn lanes, pedestrian crossings, storm water treatment and bus stops. During the open house, large maps and graphics will be available for review.

The public is invited to attend and learn about the upcoming improvements and anticipated impacts.

The design phase is expected to last through 2018 with construction anticipated to start in 2019.

 

There will also be a Community Advisory Group meeting on Monday, March 20 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Ron Russell Middle School Library, 3955 S.E. 112th Ave., Portland. This meeting is open to the public. This meeting will also review the improvements stated above.
