About
We upgraded sidewalk curb ramps at all corners of the intersection of U.S. 26 (SE Powell Boulevard) and SE 92nd Avenue.
Work at the intersection included:
Upgrading existing sidewalk curb ramps to meet ADA standards
- We installed ADA accessible sidewalk curb ramps at all corners of the intersection of SE Powell Boulevard and SE 92nd Avenue. New sidewalk curb ramps meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards and improves safety and accessibility for all, including people using mobility devices and people with visual impairments.

Lowered crosswalk buttons and installed audible pedestrian signals
- Helps all pedestrians cross the street safely by making the crosswalk buttons more reachable and provides an audible cue for the crosswalk signal.
