The Hillsdale to Lake Oswego Trail has been a part of Oregon Metro’s Regional Transit Strategy (RTS) since the early 2000’s. Although large portions already exist, there are sections that remain undeveloped. SWTrails PDX would like to finish the undeveloped trail sections of the Hillsdale-to-Lake-Oswego Trail and provide improvements and wayfinding/signage for the entire route. Completing the missing segments of this trail will offer a way to safely walk from Lake Oswego to the Hillsdale neighborhood in Portland and access shopping, libraries, schools, recreation opportunities, and bus stops for both communities.
The red segments on the above map indicate where improvements are needed.
