PBOT Crosswalk Event
April 4, 2019, 2:30 pm - 4:00 pm @ Crosswalk on SE Division and SE 130th Ave
PBOT is partnering with Darlian Slayton Fleming, MaryLee Turner, and other community members that are blind/low vision and sighted to participate in a Vision Zero outreach and education event at the marked, signalized crossing on Southeast Division at Southeast 130th Avenue from 2:30 – 4:00 PM. This is the location where James McCree, Portland resident and community member that was blind, was killed by a hit and run driver when James was crossing in the crosswalk at the appropriate time. Members of Portland Police Traffic Division will not be participating with us at this event so it is not a crosswalk education and enforcement action. The event is designed to inform the public of longstanding Oregon crosswalk laws, the specific elements of Oregon laws that address pedestrians who are blind and crossing the roadway using a white cane or guide dog, to acknowledge and honor individuals who are low vision or blind and who have been injured or killed in pedestrian vs. auto crashes, and specifically to honor James McCree.
