Why Walking in Portland Is So Dangerous

from City Cast Portland · host City Cast

More pedestrians were killed by cars in Portland in 2022 than in any of the past 70 years. And a Multnomah County report a few years ago also found that a majority of Portland’s deadly crashes occur in neighborhoods with larger populations of people of color and low-income households.  Today on the show we have pedestrian and transportation advocate Sarah Iannarone, Executive Director of The Street Trust. We’ll find out: What is making our roads so dangerous for pedestrians? Why are certain neighborhoods more dangerous than others? And what can we do about it? Want some more Portland news?
