Portland Commissioner Jo Hardesty Claims Traffic Barrels are Responsible for 64% Drop in Shootings

A three-month program that placed 18 plastic traffic barrels in a six-block radius of Southeast Portland’s Mount Scott-Arleta neighborhood helped reduce shootings by 64%, Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty said Tuesday.

The Portland Bureau of Transportation started the pilot program in October at the request of residents who said people were routinely shooting guns then fleeing on roads near 72nd Avenue and Woodstock Street. The Mt. Scott-Arleta Neighborhood Association had asked Hardesty, who oversees the transportation bureau, to install the barrels as a traffic-calming measure.
