Northwest in Motion online open house seeks feedback about biking, walking and transit projects in inner Northwest Portland

Submit your comments by Sunday, June 30th!

(June 3, 2019) The Portland Bureau of Transportation's (PBOT) Northwest in Motion online open house is underway and we want to hear from you! PBOT has been hard at work for the past year working with the community to identify and prioritize projects to improve walking, biking, and transit use in inner NW Portland. Now we have design concepts for twelve top-tier projects and we’re looking for community feedback to ensure this plan is on the right track. The online open house will run through June 30.

Northwest In Motion is developing a five-year plan to provide walking, bicycling, and public transit improvements in the Northwest District neighborhood - a vibrant area that is rapidly growing with housing and jobs in inner Northwest Portland. The plan will identify, develop, and prioritize investments to provide safety improvements for people walking, biking and taking transit, reduce conflicts between transportation modes, and give people living and working in the district more transportation options.

Northwest in Motion aims to give people more choices for daily travel. Giving people more transportation options like walking, bicycling, and public transit means they have the choice to bypass traffic congestion, use limited roadway space more efficiently, and avoid having to look for scarce on-street parking. Providing these options is especially important as the neighborhood continues to grow as a residential, commercial, and employment destination.
