Description
North Lombard Street/US-30 Bypass is a critical corridor in North Portland, serving both commercial and residential interests. This corridor is also ranked 11th in terms of fatal and serious injury crashes in Portland. The Oregon Department of Transportation and the Portland Bureau of Transportation undertook a reconfiguration to improve multimodal safety and accessibility for all users. The reconfiguration happened between North Fiske Ave and North Boston Ave. Improvements included additional curb ramps that meet ADA standards, safer crosswalks with fewer lanes to cross, buffered bike lanes, new pavement and center turn lanes, traffic signals, and RRFBs and median refuge islands.
This seminar will present the results of a before and after evaluation focused on vehicle-pedestrian conflicts, pedestrian crossing volumes, pedestrian delay, vehicle throughput and vehicle miles traveled (VMT), vehicle speed, and vehicle travel time.
