Transportation Changes
October 13, 2009
Driving around the district this week may seem a little different to everyone. Over the weekend the Portland Buearu of Transportation implemented a few traffic changes in the district – including making Gaines street a 2 way street, the removal of stop signs from Moody Ave. and additional cautionary signs highlighting these changes. Here is the official word from PBOT:
Changes in South Waterfront Traffic Circulation
The City of Portland’s Bureau of Transportation will make changes to South Waterfront traffic circulation in early October, 2009. The work will address requests made by residents in the neighborhood and by the operators of the Portland Streetcar.
> All Way stops at SW Bond Ave and SW Curry St, SW Moody Ave and SW Curry St, and SW Moody Ave and SW Gaines St will be removed. Gaines and Curry will still be stop controlled at Bond and at Moody
> SW Gaines and SW Curry will carry two way traffic between Moody and Bond. Curry and Gaines between Macadam and Moody will remain one way.
> A Speed 25 sign will be added on SW Bond north of Bancroft.
These changes are expected to provide better access to, from and within the South Waterfront area.
Please call or email if you have questions or comments.
