The city of Portland’s most visible response to gun violence, the installation of traffic barrels in a neighborhood plagued by shootings, isn’t working, data suggests.
911 dispatchers have received a greater number of calls about shootings in the area since the orange barrels were put in place.
In October, city commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty ordered the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) to install traffic-calming devices across a six-block area in the Mt. Scott-Arleta neighborhood. Hardesty collaborated with PBOT and nearby residents, who had complained about a surge in shootings over the summer and high-speed drivers.
