Safe Streets for All 2026
|
Share your thoughts about road safety in one of three key areas today!
|
|
|
This survey is being conducted as part of the Safe Streets for All demonstration
project, which is a collaboration between the Greater Portland Council of Governments and
the cities of Portland, Saco and Scarborough. Each city will install temporary road safety improvements in one key area to test functionality and gather public feedback before permanent changes are considered. The key areas are:
-
Portland: Commercial St from Dana St to Franklin St.
-
Saco: Main St from Water St to Cutts Ave
-
Scarborough: Rte 1 from Hannaford Dr to Little Dolphin Dr
These projects may include temporary traffic calming measures, pedestrian safety
improvements, and roadway design adjustments meant to improve safety and accessibility for all users. We're gathering community sentiment about the existing conditions before the installations are put in place, so please take this survey
before it closes on June 19.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about what's working and what needs
work in three key roadways in Portland, Saco and Scarborough.
