Thank you for reporting this issue to the City of Portland using SeeClickFix. It has been received as service request ID #54951. Our staff will now begin their investigation.

This crossing presents hazards as reported. Visual obstruction is dangerous for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers.
The crossing is used by many school children who are more obstructed because they are shorter and harder to see.

Thank you, Bobbi K, for extending the scope of the concern. I hope the city acts on this one quickly before something tragic occurs at that intersection.

Thank you for reporting this issue. The Traffic Team and the City Clerks office will investigate. Additional information maybe needed, a photo would be helpful.

Enter the Washington Ave exit. from Tukey's Bridge heading south. The first left is the intersection of Washington Ave. and the Eastern Prom. There's an island dividing the crosswalk there. That's where the huge Ben Chipman signage blocks the view of oncoming traffic...try making that left turn in a small car that's low to the ground. Because of the sign blocking the view there you can't see the oncoming traffic until you're already partially in their lane. Even tho' the speed limit is 25 mph, many cars have already begun to accelerate as they prepare to enter 295 N. where the speed limit is 50.

Removing the political signage from the traffic island at the Washington Ave - Eastern Prom intersection might save a life. Why would anyone be allowed to create a traffic visibility obstruction for any reason at all??? This is thoughtless disregard for public safety.

Agreed with your safety concerns. The quickest way to get this resolved may be to contact Police non-emergency at 874-8574 as well as Councilwoman Belinda Ray.

Your request has been closed. Thank you for partnering with us to keep The City of Portland a great place to live and work.

Thanks for fixing this issue!
