North Denver Streetscape Project Starts September 29th

I think we were all starting to wonder when the Denver Streetscape was actually going to really start but recent updates from the Portland Department of  Transportation have provided the start date of Tuesday, September 29th beginning at N Watts Street.  Businesses along North Denver Avenue will be open and accessible via sidewalk and street access during this project.  Please print a copy of the Denver Street Coupons and help make sure our businesses stay whole and healthy during this phase.

If you would like to be on the email update lists, please contact jim.gladson@abam.com.   Request emails should have “Streetscape Update” in the subject line.  The project website http://www.pdc.us/ura/interstate/kenton.asp will also be updated regularly. so you can go there to get the latest project information.

The following documents will provide further details:

Identifying Walking Barriers in the Kenton Neighborhood

Kenton Neighbors please share your concerns/comments:
The Willamette Pedestrian Coalition needs your help identifying barriers to getting around on foot in your neighborhood. We are relying on each neighborhood association to identify up to three specific locations within their boundaries that are the most challenging for pedestrians. This feedback will help us highlight needed pedestrian improvement projects in our upcoming Getting Around on Foot report. The report will be shared widely with state and local decision makers as we advocate for improved conditions for walking in our region.   The Willamette Pedestrian Coalition is a non-profit community-based membership organization in the greater Portland, Oregon area dedicated to promoting walking and making the conditions for walking safe and attractive.
Please submit all information no later than September 30, 2009.  The KNA will review and forward a report.  Thank you!!
