Traffic Garden Pilot Program

This pilot offers design and installation services for traffic gardens in Oregon, with the goal of identifying opportunities and challenges for future support of traffic gardens. ODOT SRTS intends to select two non-permanent traffic gardens and one permanent traffic garden during this round of the pilot. Non-permanent gardens will be implemented within the project timeframe, while the permanent garden will focus on detailed design for future buildout. This pilot provides design services and installation assistance, including paint or chalk and signs. The selected applicant will attend 4-6 virtual meetings, one site visit, and will provide local resources such as power washing, wheeled sprayers used for field striping, and installation support.

Projects will be selected in February with design and installation in spring 2025 and pilot completion by September 2025.
