(Portland, OR) -- The Portland Bureau of Transportation has received a 20-million dollar grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation for safety improvements along one of the most dangerous streets in the city. Between 2016 and 2020, nine people were killed in crashes on 122nd Avenue and 44 people were seriously hurt. The grant will pay for major safety improvements along the five-and-a-half mile stretch of 122nd Avenue, from Southeast Foster Road to Northeast Sandy Boulevard. PBOT will provide five-million dollars in matching funds to support the project.
