npGREENWAY envisions a trail system providing access to and along the Willamette River enveloping the north riverfront from the Steel Bridge in downtown Portland to Cathedral Park near the St. John’s Bridge.
Our goal is to link North Portland neighborhoods with the Willamette River for recreation and access to jobs. This expansion of the Willamette River Greenway will include a network of trails used for activities such as walking, running, cycling, in-line skating, skateboarding, fishing, boating and wildlife viewing. The North Portland Greenway trails will connect with the existing Willamette River trail system serving residents and visitors throughout the region.
npGREENWAY will work collaboratively with community stakeholders to realize this goal.

one wonderful thing about recreational trails is that for many people they become transportation trails.
this planned trail sounds like it easily could be the easy way to swan island without gridlock at rush hour.
Trails for recreation and “…access to jobs.”
How many?
Where?
How many dollars per job?
Is this a wise use of money or…
