SAVING A NEIGHBORHOOD'S LAST SAFE ROUTE TO SCHOOL
The city’s proposed through street will eliminate an official Safe Route to School (a safe route that is already recognized by the City of Portland). For decades, children from the immediate and surrounding neighborhoods have relied on the pedestrian route down SW 48th Ave for safe passage to Hayhurst Elementary and other neighborhood schools. The city’s proposal has the potential to add hundreds of cars to this route, transforming this historically safe passage into a dangerous corridor.
