Transportation Situation:
The abysmal intersection of Taylors Ferry and Terwilliger impacts several SW neighborhoods, including South Burlingame. It has been rated a “Failed Intersection” by PBOT (Portland Bureau of Transportation) for almost 20 years, meaning it chokes traffic instead of directing it.
Drivers who try to dodge the jam-up, compound the harm by recklessly cutting through residential streets at high speed. Waze and Google Maps even guide drivers into those dangerous shortcuts, along narrow gravel streets with no sidewalks, such as Carson and Troy. Our neighbors have seen countless accidents, property damage, verbal assaults, and near collisions with pedestrians, including children. Lives are at stake. We are interested in learning more from you on the proposed recommendations from the Portland Bureau of Transportation on these short-term solutions.
