        The Portland Bureau of Transportation has revealed a plan to adapt the streets to the COVID-19 crisis.
“The new strategy will repurpose streets, including closing them to car traffic, to make it easier and safer for Portlanders to practice physical distancing as the city recovers,” reads a statement just released by PBOT by way of Commissioner Chloe Eudaly.
PBOT is proposing a series of steps and measured improvements for *neighborhood greenways, busy streets, and business districts*. The bureau will focus its initial efforts on areas of the city with the most pressing safety needs.
