Why Is This Important?

Project Illumination aims to increase public safety and beautify parts of the City of Portland at the same time. Various types of lights are added to street trees along streets, above sidewalks, and in parks to increase visibility for pedestrians and to deter people from engaging in nuisance behavior. This project adds lights to strategically picked locations without having to add overly bright streetlights. This work is being coordinated by the Public Environmental Management Office (PEMO).

What Do The Numbers Show?

PEMO started this work in FY 2022-23 and the numbers show they ramped up the program quickly to light a lot of trees across the city. To date, PEMO has illuminated over 350 city blocks and 15 parks across the City of Portland.

How Did We Arrive at These Numbers?

PEMO tracks projects and installations, Urban Forestry tracks tree permits, Parks and Recreation tracks park installations.
