Project Purpose

The purpose of the Main Street Safety Project: Planning Phase is to select infrastructure solutions that will make Main Street safer for people walking, biking, driving, and taking transit.

The selected safety improvements will provide for the movement of goods and people, support the economic viability of the corridor, accommodate current bus service and future transit solutions, and complement traffic safety education and enforcement.

The Main Street Corridor Vision Plan, ODOT’s 2011 Safety Study, the Pedestrian Crossing Project and the Main-McVay Transit Study are some of the building blocks of this project, and coordination between projects is a key part of our planning phase.
