npGREENWAY envisions a trail system providing access to and along the Willamette River enveloping the north riverfront from the Steel Bridge in downtown Portland to Cathedral Park near the St. Johns Bridge.
Our goal is to link North Portland neighborhoods with the Willamette River for recreation and access to jobs. This expansion of the Willamette River Greenway will include a network of trails used for activities such as walking, running, cycling, in-line skating, skateboarding, fishing, boating and wildlife viewing. The North Portland Greenway trails will connect with the existing Willamette River trail system serving residents and visitors throughout the region.

Bike enthusiast and Portlander, Matt Picio recently posted a map that traces all of his biking around Portland in 2008. It is quite the amazing map and really shows how a bike can be used for transportation in this town.
In the future, we hope more of his "red lines" will be along the North Willamette waterfront on the trail alignment envisioned by
npGREENWAY.
Matt had this to say about his endeavors on a local e-mail list serve for SHIFT to bikes:
Most of you know I'm rather... obsessive about recording my mileage when I ride - and I put together a map. My GPS tracks where I've been, and my map software automatically imports those tracks and displays them for me.
I rode over 6,300 miles this year, compared to 5,200 last year and 3,400 the year before that. I spent 613 hours actually seated on my bike this past year - that's equivalent to spending 38 days (assuming 8 hours sleep each day) doing nothing but riding.

Michelle has posted a great story over at the Bicycle Transportation Alliance blog about your overwhelming support in Metro's recent Regional Flexible Funding process. THANK YOU! We have great hope that the decision will come in favor of the Willamette River Greenway Feasibility Study.

For the last two months we've been asking you to let Metro know if you support more funding for bicycle and pedestrian projects in this region, and to tell them which projects in particular you want to see.
Well, you sure responded! Comments in support of bike and ped projects dominated in the recent Regional Flexible Fund (RFF) process. Thank you for your help!

This image does a good job of showing "the lay of the land" where the trail would need to go around the foot of the bluff at the University of Portland.
