Oregon Avenue Street Closure (BB 64)
At a glance
- What: Board Bill 64, sponsored by Sonnier, directs the Director of Streets to permanently close, barricade or otherwise impede traffic on Oregon Avenue by blocking the flow at Pestalozzi Street, 120 feet north of the east curb line of Oregon Avenue. The committee video (auto-captions) described the closure as done with planters near Gravois Avenue and cited speeding, wrong-way cut-through traffic and safety concerns raised by residents since 2018.
- Where it stands: Passed. Reported out of Public Infrastructure and Utilities with a do-pass recommendation October 2, 2026, perfected on the consent calendar October 9 (voice vote), and finally passed October 16 on the consent calendar, 14 aye, 0 no. Signed by the President in open session.
- Data note: The official minutes place the closure in the 2800 block of Oregon Avenue; the committee captions said the 2600 block. The minutes govern.
