Lloyd District Walking Maps

No time for exercise? It doesn’t get much easier or more fun than exploring the Lloyd District at lunchtime with one of three walking maps created by the Lloyd TMA. You can get your FREE maps now at Commuter Connection, Tuesday-Friday, 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. Pick up the Art Walk, Historic Homes, Eastbank Esplanade, Water Walk, and Green Design walking maps complete with lanyards and covers. We also have copies  of Hidden Lloyd which will guide you through the northwest corner of the Lloyd District. Each map indicates the distance of your walk, estimated caloric burn and estimated steps.  Look for our next map this summer: Streetcar Walk.

Oregon Crosswalk Law

What's the law?  "A crosswalk exists at any public street intersection, whether marked with paint or unmarked. Crosswalks also exist between intersections (mid-block) only if they are marked with white painted lines."

"Under Oregon law, a pedestrian is crossing the roadway in a crosswalk when any part or extension of the pedestrian, including but not limited to any part of the pedestrian's body, wheelchair, cane, crutch or bicycle, moves into the roadway in a crosswalk with the intent to proceed. A driver has specific duties to a pedestrian in a crosswalk"
