City of Portland PLUS

The cross all signal was never replaced since the construction of the new apartment building ended and the paint of the crosswalk is almost completely worn away. This is a very dangerous spot to cross without a signal as cars are entering and leaving the 295 exit. Please address as this has been an issue for at least a year.

Warning lights don’t work to cross I95 south entrance near Portland Transportation Center

When the lights at Baxter Boulevard and Vannah change to flashing red, the crosswalk signal for pedestrians no longer functions. This seems like an major oversight at this busy intersection Please reprogram so that pedestrians can safely cross the boulevard. .

When pedestrians push the button to cross Franklin from Fox Street toward Whole Foods/Somerset St, the signal changes to a walk signal for the far part of Franklin but the part they cross first keeps its don't walk signal, this is wrong and confusing, please fix it. You closed my earlier complaint Issue ID: 15178891
maybe because I did not report it as a Cross Walk Signal complaint? I witnessed it today. Please fix it.

Something super weird happened on the way home today: crossing the long crosswalk across marginal and the 295 ramp with the walk signal, the 295 off ramp traffic light stayed green with cars zipping past! Yikes! Wish I was fast enough to grab a photo. It was 4:48 PM if that helps at all. Thanks for looking into this!

One month old crosswalk signal no longer working.

Greetings,

Monday through Friday I walk from my home on Brackett Street to my workplace on Congress Square, where I cross at the Spring/High Street intersection to commute down Spring.

Because of the light pattern, I nearly get hit at least once a week since cars on Spring are allowed to turn while the walk signal is on. The countdown starts on the signal after about 3-5 seconds, which I understand may be standard, but I often have drivers point at it as if I’m not allowed to cross as they turn. Because I know the pattern of this light, I use extra vigilance when crossing. This morning, I was nearly hit by a school bus, who stopped short and accusingly pointed to the crosswalk signal, which had 5 seconds left on it as I finished crossing.

All to say, I feel this is one of many busy intersections in Portland that is a high-risk place for pedestrians because the light does not allow time to cross without car activity. As a driver, I’ve witnessed several near misses in this area, and always approach the light with caution.

I hope the city is willing to take a look at this, and I’d be happy to further explain if helpful. As a resident, I want to see Portland be as pedestrian friendly as possible, and exploring ways to make busy intersections like these safer seems like an easy, community-minded way to do so.

Many thanks!

Warmly,

Cross walk lights are on all the time

The solar panel on top of the crosswalk light has fallen off. It is the one closet to the Reiche School playground on Brackett st.. I`m the Head Custodian @ Reiche and I have the unit in my office.. Scott Stewart 590-1747

The button to activate the crosswalk appears to be jammed. It’s the button you would use if you’re walking toward 295.

A light up signal would be nice here No one ever stops for pedestrians at this crosswalk or the one in front of Casco st
