Metro builds logjams in natural area in Oregon City
Metro's current parks and nature levy funding expires in 2023 and the Metro Council is considering asking voters to renew the levy in the near future. Bond-funded work is underway at Blue Lake Park, a public comment period for the trails grant program concluded on June 21, local share projects are being identified, and Metro Council has approved a large scale community visions pilot program handbook.
Metro is holding a grand opening celebration for its newest and second-largest park: Chehalem Ridge Nature Park, located just 15 minutes from the communities of Forest Grove and Cornelius. The in-person event, which is free and open to all, will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with formal remarks and observances from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m.
Metro has received funding requests from 29 projects seeking to improve trails, sidewalks and roadways in communities across greater Portland. Share your views on these project proposals by taking an online survey, open through June 21.
In alignment with its role to report annually to the Metro Council, the Natural Areas and Capital Program Performance Oversight Committee has submitted its year one report back to the Metro Council. Over the past month, the 2019 parks and nature bond reached a critical milestone: a majority of the bond’s programs have finished refinement and are now at work fulfilling the promises Metro made to voters when they approved the bond.
