40-Mile Loop

The 40 Mile Loop has not publicly taken a position regarding this, however, Iif you are concerned about the challenges and safety problems presented when people live and camp on our regional trails, you may want to consider virtually attending the University Park Neighborhood Association Board meeting tonight.

A team from Portland City Commissioner Dan Ryan’s office will be presenting about the proposed “Safe Rest Village“ located along the Peninsula Crossing Trail in the University Park Neighborhood Association, Portland, Oregon not far from the University of Portland. Our government has spent millions of dollars building and maintaining this trail over the years. It is a vital part of the North Portland Greenway trail and the 40 mile loop. Registration to attend and link is in the post below.

University Park Neighborhood Association University Park is a 110 year old neighborhood squeezed between the bluff above the Willamette River and busy Lombard Street. It is rich in green spaces and is home to the University of Portland and the Lombard business strip (a pleasant mix of old and new).

Big water on the big river! Today around 100k cfs. That is a lot of water going over Willamette Falls in Oregon City, RM 26.5. Things begin to drop over the next few days. We hope you are all doing well.

Did you know that we along with Metro Trail Planners and many partners throughout the region hosted over 75 people last week taking them on a digital tour through the 40 Mile Loop?

We've made the recording available via Zoom so you don't miss out. Details and a link can be found on our website here.

Watch it and let us know what you think!

Deadline today at 5:00! It's really important to let the authorities know how much we value Willamette Cove land and want to put it back into safe recreation use for our friends and neighbors. This is part of the North Portland Greenway npGREENWAY which is a very important part of the 40 Mile Loop.

We recognize that Black and brown people often do not feel safe using trail systems, and the Land Trust aims to figure out how to mitigate these barriers.
