Sidewalks, Bike Lanes, Vehicle Lanes


Thank you for your interest in this project. The public commenting period for this OOH has closed. For the latest on this project please visit the project page.


Sidewalks, bike lanes and center turn lanes are some of the safety improvements being designed through the entire corridor. We are designing the remainder of the corridor to be consistent with the improvements completed in Phase 1 from 122nd Avenue to 136th Avenue.


The image above illustrates what the majority of outer SE Powell Boulevard will look like when complete. Certain elements or measurements will vary throughout the project area depending on the needs and constraints of each section. Review the three cross-sections below to see what sidewalks, bike lanes, and center turn lanes will look like in the segments currently in design.

Sidewalks  – We will construct new sidewalks where none currently exist to provide consistent and safe options for pedestrians.

Center turn lane  – A new center turn lane will reduce conflicts and improve safety and traffic flow.

Bike lanes  – The type of bike lane varies depending on location. They include a combination of sidewalk level bike lanes and protected bike lanes for the majority of the project area. Where necessary, breaks in the bike treatment will occur to allow access for businesses and property owners.

Cross-sections (Segments Currently Under Design)

The following images illustrate what the road could look like in different sections of the corridor. The cross-section may change based on varying conditions of the roadway.
