Abstract:Accommodating multi-modal travel on high speed arterials is a challenge,
particularly in Gresham where numerous arterials transect the city, creating
barriers to pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit users. The "Ped-to-MAX"
program was created to ease these barriers and improve the pedestrian
environment around Gresham's eight light rail stations and town centers,
where pedestrian activity is high, even though traffic volumes are heavy and
moving at fast speeds.
The Ped-to-MAX program redesigns existing street right-of-way and constructs
facilities for pedestrians which will improve safety yet accommodate traffic.
The program's objective is to create safe pedestrian areas where traffic speeds
are slowed and the streetscape is aesthetically appealing, thereby encouraging
more pedestrain activity and increase transit ridership. Improvements include
texturized crosswalks, widened sidewalks, off-street pathways, mid-block
crosswalks, intersection improvements, medians, curb extensions, street lighting, pedestrain plazas and other amenities.
