2026 Ocean Ave Sidewalk Project

Project Scope
The City of Portland is upgrading the sidewalks on Ocean Ave; the east side from Chenery St to Read St and the west side from Walton St to Read St. Sidewalks will be replaced with new concrete and detectable warning panels will be added to crosswalks where there is none or damaged panels. Button activated flashing crosswalk signs will also be added at certain locations.

This project will follow Americans with Disabilities Act Regulations and Guidelines, the City of Portland's Technical Standards, and the City of Portland's Sidewalk Material Policy. This will continue the mission to connect Portland's pedestrian safe network, making it more accessible and safer.
