Bike or pedestrian projects on this potential funding list that are in East Multnomah County include:
–Continuation of the 40-mile loop trail in Fairview
–Improvement of 242nd Drive in Gresham to include a sidepath
–Sidewalk improvements on 102nd Ave in Portland
–Sidewalk improvements on SE Divison St from 96th to 174th in Portland
In addition to specific projects, the Regional Flexible Funds being allocated in this process also support regional programs that reduce auto use and improve transit and active transportation options – like High Capacity Transit planning, the Regional Travel Options program (that has supported the Bike Commute Challenge), Transit Oriented Development, and others.
Check out the list of projects, with descriptions and maps, and then drop by this listening post and let them know what you think!
