"Portland Bureau of Transportation officials said a majority of traffic deaths occur within the city’s high-crash network – typically wide roadways with multiple lanes – most of which are owned by the state.
The bureau took over one of them, 82nd Avenue, in 2022 from the state and has been working on safety improvements to the road."

"82nd Avenue of the Roses.
(simply 82nd Avenue prior to 2005)
is a street in Portland, Oregon, and comprises the northern end of Oregon Route 213, also known as the Cascade Highway.
It is one of the longest streets in Portland, running down the entire east side of the city, and extending into suburbs to the south."
"The street runs from Airport Way Frontage Rd in Northeast Portland, south through Clackamas and Happy Valley, to Interstate 205 in Gladstone. Oregon 213 continues south beyond I-205.
Within the city of Portland, it runs through the neighborhoods of Montavilla and Madison South,
and it serves as a boundary line for the neighborhoods of Roseway, Cully, Sumner, South Tabor, Foster-Powell, Mt. Scott-Arleta, Brentwood-Darlington, and Lents.
It is a highly commercial street that,
in many of these neighborhoods, is directly surrounded by dense neighborhoods
of primarily single-family homes."
"As of 2014, five of the intersections along 82nd ranked among the most dangerous 5% of Oregon intersections, with six of its intersections identified as high-crash by the City of Portland.
The Oregon Department of Transportation planned to spend $5 million on safety improvements.
Nearby residents often cross this five-lane road for school, work, or recreation
—there are a variety of schools, parks, and community centers
that are sited along 82nd Avenue,
such as Vestal Elementary, Portland Community College, and Montavilla Community Center.
The intersection of 82nd and Glisan Street is among the city's identified high-crash intersections, and it is ranked by the City of Portland as the most dangerous intersection within Portland for pedestrians, however no public plans have been announced to improve this intersection"
