npGreenway – walking/biking trails to link downtown and St. Johns
there’s a new organization that has sprung up in the last 6 months named npGreenway. their focus is to create a greenspace for walking, biking and the like on the east side of the willamette river linking downtown to north Portland. all along the waterfront, there is plenty of open space to put in a trail or esplanade. this project is dovetailed into the larger “River Plan” that the city is looking at – they call it a River Renaissance.
it wasn’t to long ago that the 40 mile loop was just some old train tracks and the east side esplanade was just a figment of vera’s imagination. this city knows how to do greenspaces and i’m looking forward to seeing this one come to fruition.
