North Macadam
Willamette Greenway

The idea is simple, but beneficial in so many ways: provide a continuous pedestrian and bike pathway along the waterfront, and design new development to embrace this public promenade, rather than obstruct it. Created by Governor Tom McCall in 1973, the Greenway is now institutionalized in Portland 's plans and regulations but has yet to be constructed in certain locations.

By prioritizing development of a multi-use trail and open space system along with the development of other infrastructure in North Macadam, we provide transportation and recreation opportunities, the ability of residents and office workers to enjoy the scenic and environmental beauty of the river and its ecosystems.
