Advocates from across the region with gather Sunday, November 15, at 11am at Waterfront Park for World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims, and if you want to help make this year’s event even more visually impactful, you can volunteer installing flags for each of the 618 lives lost in Portland road traffic since the city adopted Vision Zero.
Sarah Risser, a member of Portland Families for Safe Streets, will lead a group meeting at 9am where the park intersects with Ankeny, just south of the Burnside Bridge.
World Day of Remembrance is a global event held to honor those who have lost their lives or been impacted by traffic violence, and to lift up the important message that traffic deaths and serious injuries are preventable.
