Local Improvement Districts (LIDs)
A Local Improvement District (LID) is a method by which a group of property owners can share in the cost of transportation infrastructure improvements. This involves improving the street, building sidewalks, and installing a stormwater management system. An LID can also be used to install sidewalks on existing streets that previously have been accepted for maintenance by the City.
Paved streets and sidewalks improve access for pedestrians, bicycles, cars and emergency vehicles.
The City of Portland does not currently share in the cost of constructing streets or maintaining substandard streets.

Property owners are not charged for transportation infrastructure improvements until the work is complete.
