An amount of $1.76 million in funding has been approved by the Lake Oswego City Council for the Trail of the Willamette River Greenway between George Rogers and Foothills parks.
The greenway will be 2.25 miles long and follow the riverside of the Willamette River. Kyra Haggart, project manager, said that about 870 feet of new paved paths from George Rogers Park to where the current end of the trail in front of where the river bends at the Willamette condominiums will be built by the project.
News of such new greenways can be disseminated throughout a community and region with flyer printing.
City park development funds contributed $240,000 to the project in addition to $80,000 in grant funding from the strategic investment program of Mt. Hood Territory, $1.14 million in s local share dollars of Lake Oswego from the Metro regional government, and $300,000 of available parks service development.
The new paved paths of the segment in Lake Oswego of the Willamette River Greenway will create an important connection between Champoeg State Park to the south and the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia rivers to the north. Major sections of the Greenway which are paved include Tom McCall Waterfront Park in Willamette and Portland and Mary S. Young park in West Linn. Also included in the greenway are the Milwaukie Bay Park and the Vera Katz Eastbank Esplanade
Work on this project will begin this summer.
