Section of Springwater Trail re-opens: Celebration planned tonight
Posted by Jonathan Maus (Publisher/Editor) on April 19th, 2010 at 10:19 am
A section of the Springwater Trail on the Willamette River near the Sellwood Bridge that has been closed since September officially re-opens today. The Bureau of Environmental Services had been working on a sewer pipeline project that had closed the trail from SE Spokane St. to Umatilla.
To celebrate the re-opening of the trail, BES will have refreshments for trail users at SE Grand and Umatilla from 4:00 - 6:00pm tonight (4/19).
Here's the flyer:

Excellent news - glad to see it open again!
RecommendedNo more crossing Tacoma, yay!
RecommendedCan somebody give more information about where SE Grand meets Umatilla? I can't seem to find it on Google maps. Is it on the western most part of Umatilla?
Thanks for the help!
I was curious too JLD.. I asked BES. Apparently when the City says "Grand" they mean the railroad right-of-way. The party tonight will be at the western terminus of Umatilla where the tracks are. -- Jonathan
RecommendedThanks, Jonathan!
RecommendedUnfortunately I missed the broohaha. What did they have, tankards of rum and ale?
RecommendedHa! It was some peanut butter cookies, lemonade, and hardly anyone there except some city engineers. Most people--myself included--rode in, stayed a few, and then rode out. Maybe it became more fun after I'd departed...
