Construction on Foster Road is done and we’ve lined up community and PBOT-hosted events to get you out and about.

While not required, we hope that you can try walking, rolling, biking, or riding transit to these events! We've created a map that highlights the walking, biking, and transit facilities in the area.

The deadline to enter the contest has now passed.

The Foster Transportation and Streetscape Project delivered a street that is safer and more attractive for people walking, biking, taking transit and driving. With improved crossings and other safety features, modern signals, new pavement, 190 street trees and new decorative street lights, the project has transformed Foster Road into an inviting thoroughfare that supports a vibrant commercial district and enhances the quality of life in the surrounding neighborhoods. Among the improvements:

Wider sidewalks between SE 83rd and 90th Ave.

New median refuge islands with rapid flash beacons at six locations.

New center turn lane and bicycle lanes from SE 52nd to 90th Ave.

Upgraded ADA curb ramps at 69 locations.

New street trees and ornamental street lighting.

Road reconstruction and repaving from SE 82nd to 90th Avenue.

New, upgraded traffic signals at SE Holgate and 72nd Avenue.

Funding for the $9 million Foster Road Project came from the Fixing our Streets Program, the Lents Town Center Urban Renewal District, Portland Transportation System Development Charges and a federal grant.
