Don't miss out on the latest news!
Rail and Trails existing together. Yes, despite what the railroads here in North Portland are testifying, it is possible–and safe!
Here is a great video shot by Michael Irving of his exerience on the Westside Express Service this week. Checkout the great views of all the water and trails. Love the view of the bridge from the train. We experienced it last summer on the bike, but this provides a whole new perspective.
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. Johns Bridge and extending through Baltimore Woods to Kelley Point Park.
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, 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 is working collaboratively with community stakeholders to realize this goal.

Thanks for throwing your post URL in the Twitter feed. I can track updates in Twitter from all of the blogs I read much more effectively that going to each blog each day. Great showcase of a video, well stated appeal for the trails. What is the current story of this type of thing in the Portland, OR area? How far can I travel from NE PDX through something like this?
Glad you like the Twitter feed. Your help in realizing the vision of a multipurpose trail from the Steel Bridge to the Columbia River is needed. Send Metro your comments in support of funding project development for the North Portland Willamette Greenway Trail.
npGREENWAY has made the list of recommended projects! We need to keep the pressure on Metro and the Joint Policy Advisory Committee on Transportation (JPACT) by sending in more public comments.
The formal comment period ends on February 12th.
