Traffic calming at Pine Street and Brackett Street

Portland

Summary

Residents say drivers routinely roll through this four-way stop near where students, families, and cyclists cross. The mural is meant to catch drivers' eyes and slow traffic. WENA's volunteer traffic calming program has grown from 2 intersections in 2024 to 10 planned this year.

Impact analysis

💰Financial impact

Funded by nonprofits and volunteers, not the city — WENA has to raise money every year to keep the installations going.

✅Who benefits

Pedestrians, students, cyclists, and the crossing guard at the intersection, plus drivers who get clearer cues to stop.

⚠️Who could be affected

Nobody obviously — though drivers lose a little pavement and some might grumble about the mural.
