Petition for Speed Camera Installation on NW Skyline Blvd between NW Thompson and NW Reed Dr/Ramsey
We, the undersigned residents and concerned drivers of the NW Portland area, urge the City of Portland and PBOT’s Traffic Safety Division to install a speed camera along NW Skyline Blvd between NW Thompson and the intersections of NW Reed Drive and Ramsey.
This stretch of road has a dangerous blind corner and a history of near-miss incidents for residents turning left out of NW Reed Drive. With 73 homes in our Panavista Park neighborhood, pedestrian and driver safety is a serious and ongoing concern.
A speed camera would serve as a deterrent to habitual speeders, increase safety for residents, and provide an effective, revenue-positive enforcement measure for the City.
We respectfully request immediate review and prioritization of this location for a speed camera installation.

This intersection has been at high risk of accidents for years. Especially driving out from Reed Dr to Skyline Blvd is like “betting” every time. I strongly believe a speed camera installation contributes for safe traffic at this intersection not only for drivers but also bicyclists and pedestrians.
Just moved to the area. Have had a few near misses myself. No matter how I try there is always a nervousness when I have to turn on to Skyline from Reed. Anything to make it safer would be welcomed.
A Tesla passed me Northbound on Skyline at Reed, though I had my signal on to turn left. It is a double yellow with a blind curve and he had to be going at least 50mph on the brief straightaway.
My children are put in danger by speeding vehicles at their bus stop every day. Similarly, exiting Reed Dr is dangerous as the traffic mirror often gets rain, fog or ice on it. If cameras and rad signs are all we can get, I'll take it. I would prefer speed bumps though
I have seen some people gather at the intersection of Cornel Rd and Skyline and actually race their cars between Cornel and Thompson Rd. This usually happens after 11 pm and even if you are not on the road you can hear it from our Panavista neighborhood.
The Springville Entrance to Forest Park is also an extremely busy and blind intersection with Skyline, as there are many visitors to Forest Park every day, and there is no Stop Sign on Springville which is a side street, entering Skyline which is the arterial. PBOT should add one. Twice in the past few years, speeding cars have lost control and sheared off the power pole at this intersection. One car that crashed also sheared off the fire hydrant. In addition to this request, it would be great to have a camera or traffic control device near the two intersections of Springville and Skyline to help slow the traffic at these dangerous and blind intersections. I absolutely support adding a camera between NW Thompson and NW Reed Dr, and any other methods to reduce speeding on Skyline.
Stop the racers on skyline!

Our driveway is at the intersection of Skyline and Springville Road, the location of many accidents and near misses. Our mailbox has been hit on three occasions by vehicles attempting to avoid collisions. We welcome intervention by the city to address speeding on all of Skyline. This is a good start.
