Upcoming meetings
On May 13th, a speaker from Urban Coyote Project will present and answer questions. The Portland Urban Coyote Project works to understand how people and coyotes interact and to help the community learn about their coyote neighbors. They collect, map, and analyze coyote sightings in the Portland metropolitan area and share the results with the scientific community and general public.
In June, City and SW Corridor Equity Coalition staff will share plans for a community garden on the city-owned lot at the corner of SW Stephenson and 35th.
SW Boones Ferry Rd Walkway
Southwest in Motion (SWIM) Project BP-40 Boones Ferry Walkway will improve pedestrian safety along SW Boones Ferry Rd, between SW Orchard Hill Rd and our local grocery and shopping center Oswego Towne Square.
The project is in the construction phase. The construction will take place from March – May 2025.
View Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) project website.
The safe shoulder will be approximately 730 ft in length and 5 ft in width. PBOT will install concrete separators to protect the walkway where possible, while accommodating for driveways and bus stops, approximately 425 ft in length. PBOT decided to update the design after hearing feedback from the Arnold Creek Neighborhood Assocation to include shoulder widening and extend the path north on SW Orchard Hill Rd.
