Portland Tests Safety Fixes for Vision Zero | Portland Maine News
Description
Portland’s rolling out temporary street safety upgrades this summer—curb extensions, flexible posts, and speed bumps—to test what works before making permanent changes. Part of the city’s Vision Zero initiative, which aims for zero traffic deaths by 2045, these tweaks also include making crosswalks more visible and slowing traffic. Adding artistic flair, a local mural was painted on Dana Street to brighten the streets while improving safety. The Greater Portland Council of Governments is partnering with the city to ensure safer roads for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians alike.
