Announcement from PBOT about speed bumps on Stanton Street
The Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) has been working with the Public Environment Management Office (PEMO) for the last two weeks to respond to neighbor concerns about the need for traffic calming on NE Stanton St. These concerns were supported via two letters from the Eliot Neighborhood Association.
The issue was higher speed traffic observed on NE Stanton St, a local street, between N Williams and MLK Blvd. We have heard your concerns, analyzed the situation, and our conclusion is that driving over the speed limit is indeed occurring.
As a result, PBOT will be installing speed bumps between Williams and MLK Blvd as soon as we can. We expect them installed in a few weeks, weather permitting.
Speed bumps are a very popular and effective tool that should significantly reduce speeds on Stanton. In addition, PBOT will monitor the traffic situation after the installation to learn of their effectiveness.
PBOT is also in the process of collecting traffic and speed counts on NE Stanton and parallel streets to get a snapshot of traffic patterns in the nearby area prior to installation.
Finally, on a related issue, PBOT has installed “no parking” signs at the corner of Stanton at Williams, beside Immaculate Heart Catholic Church.
PBOT will continue to work with PEMO and other bureaus on a comprehensive strategy to improve the situation on this street.
