Park Path Safety Reminder

From ODOT-

With the promise of drier weather and sunny days ahead, we expect more people on the bicycle and pedestrian paths throughout the construction area and in Alton Baker Park.

  

It’s always nice to see people buzzing around as the weather improves, but the project safety team wants to remind you to be aware of construction activity and other path users.

For safe traveling through the work zone, we encourage cyclists, runners and walkers to:

·       Watch out for increased path traffic.

·       Watch for cross traffic at path and roadway intersections.

·       Slow down when cycling through the work zone.

·       Obey flagger instructions and guidance.

·       Wear high-visibility clothing.

 

Path
users should expect brief delays on the south bank of the river in late May and
early June* while crews remove the remaining wood and metal falsework over the
path that connects the Knickerbocker Bridge to Franklin Boulevard. Flaggers
will guide you through the work area safely.



*The delays are now expected the week of May 6 rather than late May and early June.
