Project-Details

Lombard Multimodal Safety Project

Design Phase

Region 1: Portland metro and Hood River County (Portland, Multnomah)

This project will improve safety for drivers, bicyclists, pedestrians, transit users and using mobility devices (such as wheelchairs) along North Lombard between N Fiske Ave and N Boston Ave. A reduction in travel lanes and removal of parking will begin at N Newman Avenue and continue to N Boston Ave to accommodate a new center turn lane and bike lanes.

Impacts

Traffic Impact

Typical traffic impacts may include temporary lane closures and traffic control with flaggers. Information will be made available prior to the start of construction.

Meetings and Events

An in-person and online community open house will be held on Wednesday, January 29, 2020 from 6-8pm at the Portland Village School at 7654 N Delaware Avenue. An online open house will be held from January 29 through March 8.

The first in-person and online community open house was held on March 13, 2019.

We will host another community event will be held before construction begins, which will have details on what to expect during the work.

ODOT is always listening to and considering the feedback from community members. If you miss these opportunities to engage with the project team but would like to submit a comment, contact Ellen at ellen.sweeney@odot.state.or.us.

About

This project will improve safety for all modes along North Lombard Street/US30 BY between N Fiske Ave and N Boston Ave. A reduction in travel lanes and parking will begin at N Newman Avenue to N Boston Ave to accommodate a new center turn lane and bike lanes.

This project will improve safety along US30 BY/Lombard, which is currently ranked as the 11th highest crash corridor in the City of Portland based on the frequency of both fatal and serious, near-fatal crashes for all types of road users. The project includes adding a median with turning lane, bike lanes, and updated pedestrian crossings. The project is being designed and constructed by ODOT.
