About
ODOT is improving pedestrian safety on OR 99E/McLoughlin Blvd between SE Risley Ave and W Arlington St. Two new enhanced crossings will be installed at SE Risley and Meldrum Avenues. These include rapid flashing beacons, illumination and pedestrian push buttons. The project also builds sidewalks to eliminate gaps and rebuilds the traffic signal at W Arlington St. Some curb ramps and driveways will be rebuilt.

What Problem Will This Improve?
OR 99E has five lanes with a 40 MPH speed limit for 26,300 daily vehicles on average (2024) and has sidewalk and crossing gaps. We worked with the community and gathered feedback that identified this location as a safety priority. There were over 400 crashes in this corridor 2018 to 2022 and 75% of 6 fatal crashes involved a pedestrian or person riding a bike.
