7:30pm 92% of crashes are driver error. PBOT is trying to install rapid flashing beacons. 60th and Burnside is a very problematic
intersection. It’s difficult for children to cross there as well as bikers and other pedestrians. In short, it was agreed that Burnside needs safety improvements and PBOT will be working towards this goal but the consensus is that there are more problems than what PBOT is offering to help with.
