The Portland Avenue (dukʷibəɫ) Vision Zero Project community survey is now open!
We're seeking feedback from residents, businesses, and everyone who travels along the corridor to better understand safety concerns, access challenges, and community priorities.
The survey ...asks about:
• Locations where walking, rolling, biking, driving, or accessing transit feels difficult or unsafe.
• Priorities for future improvements along Portland Avenue between E 27th St and E 56th St.
• Considerations such as vehicle speeds, parking, and freight access.
The survey takes approximately 5–7 minutes to complete.
Since February, the project team has been collecting data on traffic operations, safety, geotechnical conditions, trees, and environmental factors to help inform future recommendations.
Community input is a critical part of the process and will help shape the design of potential improvements along the corridor.
Take the survey by July 22 and share your perspective.
