npGREENWAY Supporters,
A crucial opportunity to complete the northern-most segment of the Willamette Greenway trail is here. Metro has submitted a grant, that if funded, will construct the segment between Kelley Point Park and Pier Park (Segment 1).
ODOT is going through a project selection process NOW. Review the grant application and fill out the 5 minute survey to make your choice known. Deadline for survey submission is Thursday,
January 31.
Greetings,
Are you interested in plans to build a 4-mile section of the Willamette Greenway Trail between Chimney and Kelley Point parks in North Portland? Then please take a minute to let the Oregon Department of Transportation know what you think about this and other projects being evaluated for active transportation grants.
Just go to the survey, fill in the required information, select the “Portland and Washington County” area of interest, then weigh in on project #87: Willamette Greenway. The more support a proposal receives, the stronger its chance of being funded. The
deadline for comments is next Thursday, January 31.
Metro and Portland Parks submitted a proposal to do the design and engineering work needed to complete this section of the Willamette Greenway, which is also part of the 40-Mile Loop and the North Portland Greenway Trail. You can read the full application here.
A separate application to build the trail was submitted to another ODOT grant program, and is working its way through the process.
