Portland 'Slow Streets|Safe Streets' initiative will repurpose 100 miles of streets

Portland’s Slow Streets|Safe Streets initiative will reconfigure 100 miles of streets, including closing them to car traffic, to create a neighborhood greenway network to make it easier for residents to walk and bicycle safely as the city recovers. Portland is also expanding pedestrian space along streets that are narrow or missing sidewalks, and creating dedicated loading zones for pickup and delivery vehicles.
