PORTLAND, Ore. The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is requesting approval of $3.35 million to make 82nd Avenue safer for pedestrians, the agency announced Friday.
The money would be part of a $10 million plan for urgently needed pedestrian safety improvements statewide, ODOT said in a news release.
ODOT will ask the Oregon Transportation Commission to approve the funds on May 13. If approved, ODOT says it would quickly launch a series of projects that would be finished by fall 2021.
