The trails of SW Portland are being covered by falling leaves.  SW Trails thinks that Portland Parks should take responsibility for cleaning some trails, and that SW Trails should take responsibility for other trails.  Here are our recommended priorities:

Portland Parks Fall Winter Leaf Blowing Priorities from the perspective of SWTrails

SW URBAN TRAIL BY TRAIL NUMBER

Trail 1. Short segment of trail from Whitaker Steps to road down fromTerwilliger

Trail 3.

  • A. Himes Park segment of the trail including trail to the Barbur Bridge soon to be used
  • B. Stephens Creek Natural Area, RAZ BAACK crossing and associated accessible trails
  • C. Gabriel Park trail through woods including trail to SW 45th

Trail 4 I do not believe natural area management has any of Burlingame Park.
If I am wrong, then path leading to Burlingame Park from the East.

Trail 5

  • A. Maricara Park portion of trail
  • B. Dickinson Park trail segments all the way across the park.

  • A. Trail behind Forestry Center to Hwy 26,
  • B. Trail 7 aka 4T fromHwy 26 to Patton,

  • Nearby the trail from SW Woods to Terwilliger just north of Campus Drive
