Community members are invited to participate in the design open house for the
2027 Neighborhood Street Safety Program Projects. The open house will be held
in person and online to share project information and gather public input.
The open house will take place on April 23, 2026 from 4:30-6:30 p.m. at the

The projects that are scheduled for the 2027 Neighborhood Street Safety
program are:
* Updating and improving the existing crossings at the intersection of NE Sierra Drive and NE Boyd Acres Road, and NE Town Drive and NE Boyd Acres Road to facilitate safer crossings of NE Boyd Acres Road.
* Implementing traffic calming along Blakely Road from Powers Road to Chamberlain Street. Improvements to include speed humps and sidewalk infill at select locations.
* Building a raised crossing at the intersection of NW Discovery Park Way and NW High Lakes Loop.
* Updating and improving the crossing of NW Mt. Washington Drive at Regency Street. Improvements will include a Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon and removal of the right-turn lane onto Regency Street.
* Installing speed humps and sidewalk infill along Tucson Way from Neff Road to Conners Avenue.
The projects are part of the Neighborhood Street Safety Program, a yearly
program that aims to address sidewalk infill, traffic calming and safer
crossings of busy streets, increasing safety for all users of the roadway.
This program is funded through the voter-approved 2020 Transportation GO
Bond.
