Abstract
The Killingsworth Street Improvements Planning Project creates a streetscape concept plan and new street
standards and guidelines for Killingsworth St between N Interstate Ave and NE Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. The plan
addresses streetscape improvements including trees, curb ramps and sidewalk improvements, street lights,
pedestrian crossing and bus stop changes, traffic signs, trash containers, bicycle access, and art. The plan creates
a public investment strategy for the street in order to improve the quality of the street for local businesses and
residents and helps strengthen the connection between Killingsworth St, the Interstate MAX, the surrounding
community, and major destinations such as Portland Community College (PCC) Cascade. Through improving these
connections the project will also help bridge the perceived divide caused by the I-5 freeway. [From the Plan]
