Mayor Ted Wheeler announced Friday that the emergency declaration banning homeless camps near high-crash corridors will expand to designated safe walking routes used by school-aged children.
"School-age children should be able to walk, bike, and ride buses to get to and from schools without potentially dangerous hazards as a result of encampments, including trash, tents in the right-of-way, biohazards, hypodermic needles, and more," Wheeler said.Primary Investment Routes, which were established through Portland’s Safe Routes to School Program, will no longer allow camping under this declaration.
In February, Wheeler signed an emergency ban on homeless camps near roads with high numbers of vehicle crashes. That declaration was prompted by a report the Portland Bureau of Transportation released that said in 2021 the city saw its highest number of traffic deaths since 1990.
