I took a tour of some of Washington County’s hot-off-the-asphalt-truck bicycle infrastructure, and my verdict is in: it’s worthy of inviting guests from Portland to come check it out.
So come take a virtual ride with me!
The County spent $18.3 million to widen Cornelius Pass road between Cornell and Highway 26. The project included new sidewalks on both sides of the roadway, a buffered bike lane on the west side of the road, and a separated, two-way bike path on the east side (among other things).
Ready to ride? Let’s go…
For those who already bike around here, for now this particular bikeway could seem more like a destination itself than a way to a destination, like biking to a bicycle infrastructure theme park. It’s an earned respite from biking right next to cars… but alas, it only lasts a mile.
We could take the MAX to Hillsboro, but I thought we’d just bike it. Hope you don’t mind the extra 7.5 or so miles of biking. It’s mostly flat, by the way, in case you already biked a bunch of hills on the way over here.
My route from the Beaverton Town Square/Beaverton Transit Center MAX station vicinity: Go to SW Lombard Ave and turn right, then left on SW Center St, right on SW 124th Ave and left on SW Fairfield street. Once we (fiiiiinally) get a green light at the intersection, cross Cedar Hills Blvd into the Winco parking lot. This part is because there’s no bike lane on Cedar Hills at this spot. You could also ride the sidewalk to Jenkins if you want, but be prepared for lots of driveways. I personally don’t ride on Cedar Hills along here; in white water rafting terms, I’d rate it Class 4 rapids. Class 5 if we count cell phone use behind the wheel as hidden rocks.
Once in the Winco lot we’ll make our way northwest-ish through the lot toward Jenkins, where it’s a left turn across and into the Jenkins bike lane. Oh yeah. Some Beaverton utilities contractors (at least I guess that’s who) put a line of bumpy asphalt in a stretch of the bike lane here recently. Sorry about the rough ride. Let’s hope that’s a temporary thing.
From here it’s a straight ride into Hillsboro. No; we didn’t make a wrong turn off Jenkins: the arterial turns into W Baseline Rd. It actually changes names again later—but only if you accidentally fly past our turn. We’ve already got plenty of street name changes without keeping track of that one.
Alert: road construction on SW 158th is affecting the Jenkins bike lane approaching the Jenkins & SW 158th intersection, which you’d also cross to get to Costco. Expect to merge into the lane with big SUVs and such. Once through the intersection it’s right back into the Jenkins bike lane.
Also: later down the road, just after SW 173rd, take care at the MAX tracks that cross Baseline. You’ll need to turn your bike slightly to take the tracks at a right angle.
Eventually, after a bunch of (probably uneventful, in spite of the MAX tracks) riding next to lots of loud, fast cars, and passing through intersections you still can’t believe the size of, you’ll reach SW Cornelius Pass Rd. Turn right, which is north, toward the 26. From here, it’s another 1.7 miles or so with bike lanes all the way to NW Cornell Rd (where, coincidentally, there’s another Winco). At this point, SW Cornelius Pass is now NW Cornelius Pass.
The northbound Cornelius Pass bike lane now officially ends at Cornell. At the intersection, we’re clearly and easily directed through the intersection and led onto the brand new two-way bike path with adjacent walking path, complete with very helpful wayfinding signs and markings (I think I may be most excited about the wayfinding signs!).

There’s still a southbound bike lane on Cornelius Pass for anyone who’s biking south on that side and doesn’t want to cross over to use the two-directional bikeway. But the northbound side may represent one of those rare times when the law says, however confusedly, that we must use the bikeway. I shall defer to law experts on that.
Now here’s a possible news scoop: on the bikeway, at the intersection with NW Evergreen Pkwy, we come upon what I believe to be Washington County’s very first bicycle signal! At least, it’s the first I’ve encountered west of Portland. Confirmation of this breaking news is pending further investigation. And there are green bike boxes everywhere!
It’s starting to feel like home.
Note: I did have trouble triggering the signal to get a green bike light from the northbound side. I tried lingering back. I went all the way forward, which feels too far forward to wait even though that’s where the diamond is. After three or so light cycles I finally just used the crosswalk button to get a green bike light. After crossing, I checked out the triggers on the other side, which worked much better.
While I was testing the southbound side, someone else had trouble on the northbound side. His solution was to go while the right turn arrow was flashing yellow for those in the car lane. Problem is, during that flashing yellow arrow turn phase, the bike signal still gives us a red. The signal issues are a little bit messy right there, IMO. And for the record: I cannot stand the flashing yellow left turn arrows that the county uses all over the place. They give me the shivers.
Now for the answer to the burning question: How far does this thing go?! Does it go all the way to the Rock Creek Trail underpass?!
Spoiler alert: The bikeway ends at the 26. But it’s a fun mile while it lasts.
These kinds of bicycle improvements feel wonderful and welcome, but also a bit weird. They’re a teaser for how great the potential is for bike commuting (for commerce and such) across this big county. But for those who already bike-commute around here, for now this particular bikeway could seem more like a destination itself than a way to a destination, like biking to a bicycle infrastructure theme park. It’s an earned respite from biking right next to cars… but alas, it only lasts a mile. My roundtrips that day took me closer to 30 miles total, according to my bike odometer.
On the other hand, this bikeway is connected to major east-west arterials that have bike lanes (heads up: as of August 25th, Evergreen Pkwy still needs its bike lane stripes painted back in after paving). And the bikeway is in a spot that could potentially be part of someone’s bike route to actual destinations, like McMenamins on Cornelius Pass, Fred Meyer off Imbrie Dr., a gym for post-ride yoga & arm workouts, and the Hillsboro Hops field.
Seriously, come check it out in person! Nice work, Washington County. Thank you.

I do enjoy the tounge-in-cheek style of reporting here. Especially this turn of phrase:
” I personally don’t ride on Cedar Hills along here; in white water rafting terms, I’d rate it Class 4 rapids. Class 5 if we count cell phone use behind the wheel as hidden rocks.”
Looks like a really nice path, although I’d feel uncomfortable going though some of those monster intersections. Some green paint throughout could help a bit. It’s unfortunate we needed a street widening to get this path, but it’s welcome nonetheless. I believe the 158th widening will have a similar path?
I’ve found that Washington County tends to build better cycling facilities than Portland, however they don’t have as good of a connected network. I’m fairly certain WashCo has more miles of protected bike lanes than Portland though. There’s one by Nike Beaverton Creek, a short raised cycleway along Century Blvd in Hillsboro, a longer one near the airport, and that’s not even including some of the high-quality and well-signed multi-use trails.
Maybe Ryan Deckert will get the chairman job of the Washington County commissioners and build a downtown Portland to downtown Beaverton bike lane like he says he wants to do. I’m not sure where the route would be? An elevated boardwalk along the hillside of Highway 26 by Jefferson Street to Canyon Ct?
Interesting, I hadn’t heard about this development. Recent post on his FB page says “I’m all for creating better and safer bicycle routes and access in Washington County!”
I think it was on the Oregonlive website.
This thing… ugh. Meanwhile they erased the Bike Lanes on NW Evergreen for several miles right next to this thing (Corn Pass to 185th) for over a month. For a jurisdiction with tons of infrastructure money, they seem to use it in fairly useless ways. Maybe this thing will connect to something eventually, but theme park it will remain for the time being.
Go east on Evergreen to get to the Rock Creek Trail. It’s not great for cycling – too may pedestrians, but if you don’t mind going a little slower it’s OK.
There are plans for a bridge (when there is money of course) across Hwy 26 then it will connect to the rock creek trail that is about 4 miles to Bethany village and the Mult/ Wash Co line, and connects to Westside trail too. I hope we don’t have to wait 10 years for it though.
30 years ?
Nice, but it desperately needs giant Oregon White Oak trees or suitable trees with lots of shade. It is still lame to see so many car lanes. Country roads turning into rat race boulevards. However, it could have been worse.
No OAKS they drop acorns. Broken shells and flat tires. Shade trees fine, but nothing that drops crap on the path.
What trees would you like? Incense Cedar like those in Sylvan ?
They did chop down a beautiful row of, what, 40?-year-old poplars to make room for the two new traffic lanes and this “separated” (in ever sense of the word) bike path. They weren’t really shade trees, but they were a lot nicer to look at (and listen to, in a breeze) than the flat nothingness and 3x traffic volumes that are there now.
Tree branches rustling in the breeze… that is one of my favorite sounds in the world.
When the lanes were all empty (which happened surprisingly often for a road that huge), I could hear the crackle of the corona forming on the transmission lines. It’s quite barren & the road is so vast. Gave it a post-apocalyptic feel—except, with electricity. Sticking with the theme park trope, it’s pretty good mise en scene for a Mad Max attraction.
What trees would you like ?
Anything native… minus oaks (in deference to the anti-acorn lobby). So how about some alders or bigleaf maples. That’d be my vote.
rick, there is a stretch of trees along NE Shute Rd in Hillsboro (near Brookwood) that is gorgeous to bike under in autumn… the path turns golden with soft leaves. Not sure what kind of trees those are, but I suppose those work for me.
Yeah, the thing I usually hate about riding in WashCo is the lack of shade on these giant hot roads. It’s nice that this gets you away from the raceway they call Cornelius Pass, but you still have the heat, the exhaust, and the noise of the cars. Trees would have at least helped with the heat a bit.
Nice pictures, good writeup.
I worry about right hooks with so little space and such a large (i.e. high-speed) radius between the turn lane and the bikeway crossing. Such big intersections, you’ll need a bike to get across them (maybe the crosswalks here require a bikeshare system.)
It’s nice to have some vegetation if that grows up to be an exhaust/noise absorber. What about a little shade though? Visibility at the corners will be an issue with that, of course.
It will be interesting to see ridership counts there in a year or so. Is it a stranded mile, or is there enough housing and destinations connected to it for it to shift mode share?
Several folks work at Ronler Acres which this goes near. Quite a few folks live south on Cornelius Pass Road also.
You can get to the Rock Creek Trail by going east on Evergreen.
One other thing the city of Hillsboro did was add a red right turn arrow for cars coming off of Brookwood southbound at Cornell. This is the end point for another, more useful, MUP and is always scary for cyclists or pedestrians trying to cross Cornell and continue south. In some ways, it might be scarier now since many drivers only see the green light and ignore the red arrow. With some education and enforcement it will make one of the most dangerous intersections in the city safer I hope.
Nice report! Glad to see bike infrastructure being built here.
I assume there’s been no improvement to Cornelius Pass Road north of this area?
A friend and I once rode from Hwy 30 to Hwy 26 on Cornelius Pass Road, and it was a harrowing experience. Narrow two lane road, little to no shoulder, ragged pavement edge, and heavy 18 wheeler traffic both directions. As we hugged the last inch of pavement, the truck drivers tried to cross over the centerline to give us room, but they sometimes were forced back into the lane by oncoming semis, resulting in many 6 inch passes by roaring 18 wheelers. Getting to the normal roads after Hwy 26 was a relief, even with 50 mph traffic and no bike lanes (back then), they felt safe and welcoming.
Yeah no one rides on that section of cornelius pass road. That’s a major Freight truck route from the Tualatin valley over to highway 30 / st johns or scappoose, or to longview etc. or for car drivers who’d get sick on Germantown curves. There are of course much nicer and quieter roads for cyclists.
I see people walking and biking on SW Baltic Ave despite the many car crashes on nearby SW Barnes Road, the zombie Cedar Hills shopping center, and the roar of the 217 and 26 freeway traffic adjacent to the bike lanes and sidewalks. I’m one person riding a bike on SW Baltic Ave and it is way nicer than riding underneath 26 at SW Cedar Hills Blvd.
It was hard to read after looking at the first photo. That steel bollard just waiting to whack someone who allowed their attention to drift after avoiding the jutting curbs just makes my skin crawl. (Note that I ride a tandem with a kid-bike trailing on it and sometimes a cart behind that, so I’m sensitive to such failures.) With that much road space, they really needed to create shoe-horn worthy infra? Good grief!
And of course it has lots of right-hook invitations and completes the (insert word for human waste) sandwich by putting in a bike-specific signal that not only will create extra delays for those who choose to ride, but doesn’t even work.
I kind of feel like I did after Fukushima where the best engineers in the world couldn’t manage to avoid the stupid blunder of putting the emergency generators in a basement that would flood in a tsunami emergency, thus leading to an avoidable meltdown. That showed me that we’re just not ready to do things like nuclear power yet.
Likewise, if this sort of infrastructure is the best our traffic planners/engineers can do, then we’re clearly not ready to do cycling infrastructure beyond basics (like seven foot wide bike lanes). I’m tired of my health being part of their poorly done experiments, especially now that my grand-daughters are in the game.
Without that bollard, someone will inevitably drive in the cycle path. A necessary evil, IMO.
Frankly, I’d rather take my chances with the very occasional idiot who drives on a bike path than have a permanent dangerous hazard put in place. Over fifty years ago we took out most such hazards from motorist-dominated infrastructure and protected them from the few remaining ones with big drums of water. Some day we’ll realize that if we want to encourage cycling we can’t go putting hazards in place and calling it good. Clearly not today, though.
I’m missing something. Drums of water?
At the gore points of highway exits drums of water are frequently used to slow motorists before they strike the immovable barrier that separates the road from the exit ramp or highway split.
I agree that the bike signals are a bit lame. The problem I’ve found with them is that they require activation. Normally with protected bike lanes next to traffic I can time the lights for green, but with these signals either I need to run the bike signal, or stop, press the button/stand on the activator, and wait for whatever amount of time it takes it to either go through a cycle, or decide there’s enough time for it to give me the go ahead.
Yeah I agree. It feels like they are just putting something up, so they can justify building wider roads for traffic.
I go by here at 2-3 times a week on my ride home from work in Portland. It just looks stupid. Kind of like the Bike Lane along 84 out in east Portland. Who’d want to ride on this? There are very few cycling commuters out this way anyway. I usually see no one else on my ride through at about 5:30/ 6 pm.
Right hooks. If you are in Washington county, on any of these big wide roads, you’d better be ready to be careful. A lot of people (at least 50%) are looking down at their phones while sitting at the light. You have to assume they are totally un-aware of you, especially if you are still coming up to the intersection when the light turns green. Often people don’t use signal lights and just turn. You can’t count on them looking in there mirrors before they turn. At least I am not going to bet my life on it.
Yes, the path is in the middle of nowhere and connects to nothing. But it was built as part of a street widening project. In a way, it’s similar to the Sunrise Corridor bike path. While I’d prefer not to widen the street or add new highways in the first place (and the addition of a bike path is not enough IMO to justify the widening projects), if the project is going to happen anyway, we’d might as well get some cycling infrastructure out of the deal. I’d be more upset if the project went through without any accommodation for cyclists.
I mean, in effect that’s what it is, it just happens in the reverse order from what you’re saying. The federal transportation law (MAP-21) says if your project wants to qualify for federal funding, you need to spend a certain percentage of the budget on bike & pedestrian facilities. Which are pretty cheap by comparison, so it’s easy to do something pretty nice. So a lot of bike infrastructure improvements end up being done by piggybacking on road projects. And that’s what this project always was, from the getgo – a widening of Cornelius Pass Road. That’s why they built a nice bike lane and it’s also why they did it in this particular spot. (It wasn’t to serve the massive demand for north-south bike travel between Cornell and the 26.)
I just noticed that that new street, Ronler Drive, has raised cycle lanes.
Here’s another one – Century at Orenco Station:

Cool, and after the winter they can be filled with gravel still in August just like the ones on Veterans Ave by the fairgrounds are now!
How much gravel ? http://www.co.washington.or.us/LUT/Divisions/Operations/
A few weeks ago, some people and I rode a section of new bike path that looked like the top picture…physically separated from the main road by about 8′. It was nice, but short, maybe no more than three-quarters of a mile long. Rode it on a Saturday morning, so it wasn’t busy. It was east-west and maybe just north of Quatama.
I like not having to sweat wondering about what motor vehicle traffic right on my flank is doing. On the other hand, the riding surface is concrete with seams, so for me, it’s not wonderful for fast riding. If this type of riding surface for bikes was the standard everywhere in the county, I’m not sure I’d personally be delighted to feel obliged to ride it. So if it were, I might opt not to ride it.
Definitely seems the kind of separated infrastructure I’ve heard told about is big over in the Netherlands, Germany. Washington County has the land availability to realize this kind of separated infrastructure, and is in a much better position to do so than Portland, and maybe many parts of Multnomah County…because Washington County isn’t yet so completely developed and designated for other uses and projects already.
The cruiser, hybrid and folder class of people riding bikes, that have an aversion to riding in almost any kind of traffic that includes some or much motor vehicle traffic, should feel fairly well riding on what Washington County has produced for separated bike lanes.
The bike signal does need some finessing. I’ve never gotten the north bound sensor to ever pick me up. It really needs a dedicated phase each cycle. And then when it does change beware, I’ve seen many NB cars illegally disregard the red right arrow and no turn on red signs during the bike signal phase for a potential right-hook. Guess that’s just typical mind numbed WaCo drivers. An enforcement action with a couple motorcycle officers could solve things but I’ve never seen any LEO anywhere around.
Has it changed in the past two weeks for the bike signal ?
Nice post.
I’d probably avoid the WinCo parking lot by taking 124th–>123rd–>Walker–>Ecola–>Jenkins, but it all gets you to the same place.
To be frank it’s sprawlville out there, but at least they’re trying. I agree planting some trees for an eventual semi-canopy is a good idea.
Are ther power lines to close to the sidewalk planting space ?
That makes sense, emerson—it’s a little extra riding, but that neighborhood is very pleasant to bike through, and SW Ecole is a great active transportation connection to know about. I admit I don’t enjoy left turns across arterials like Walker—especially where it’s unsignalled—so I’m happy that the county’s looking for ideas to improve crossings for people not in cars, including at Walker & Ecole.
Once on Walker, you could also get to the new bikeway by taking Walker to 158th, turn right, go left at NW Cornell, then stay on Cornell all the way to Cornelius Pass. There are bike lanes the whole way. That route does have a couple of hills.
Thank you Hillsboro Elks Lodge for the adopt a road for Cornelius Road !
Why the ‘Theme Park’ moniker? This seems pretty straight-forward. The 20’s bike route in east PDX that just opened is more of a ‘theme park’.
Naomi’s “Theme Park” designation seems like a tongue in cheek way of saying that the bike path starts out of nowhere and ends before it reaches any useful destinations. Additionally, the size of the intersections are truly jaw-dropping like attractions at a theme park.
The suburbs have some benefits but a connected bike-network is not one of them.
very disappointing project.
Buzz & BVT_Biker, you’re both right… but it also has to do with the fact that biking there that day, I had that innocent anticipation reminiscent of going to a theme park. I don’t usually feel that when biking around the county, but I was genuinely excited to go see this. I’d biked on it once or twice before it was done & couldn’t wait to see how far it extended. It’s not on my regular routes, so I probably won’t ride it much.
I wish these were everywhere, that the signals worked well, and that hydraulic bollards went up to protect us from people turning right when we have the green bike light.
I’ve ridden this stretch a few times when the Rock Creek Trail under 26 was impassible due to flooding. The infrastructure itself, I think is fantastic. At worst, it takes eternity to go from NB Corn Pass to EB Evergreen due to complicated signaling at the giant intersection.
But it’s really kind of a bridge to nowhere. Heading north, as soon as you get to 26, you’re back in the horrible situation of a very trashy / tire slashy bike lane to get over 26 and furious traffic.
Unless you’re actually heading to something along Corn Pass, then I feel that Washington County would have been better to spend the money diverting flood waters on the Rock Creek Trail. But maybe this is part of a master plan (I hope).
Washington County chairman Andy Duyck wanted more money spent in this area. More car lanes to “reduce traffic.” The money was chosen back around 2010 / 2011.
Adding lanes is the only way developers can ever hope to convince buyers to live in the upcoming South Hillsboro developments. CP road will be their only good route to 26. The only other decent option for those homeowners to get to Portland would be TV Hwy which is already a mess and can’t really be widened except in a few areas. Few if any of those buyers will be bike commuters as they will be miles from anything.
Some of the roads in the upcoming South Hillsboro neighborhood will have protected bike lanes.
So lame they didn’t extend this over 26. Overpass looks to be complete now, can’t recall but I believe it is 6 car lanes with standard bike lanes (they might be buffered, regardless, so inadequate). Rode this once in the spring but turned on Evergreen to go under 26 on Rock Creek Trail. A very barren place to ride a bike, but a nice break from the on street bike lanes I suppose.
Is the Sunset Transit center bridge open at all hours? I think the I-5 bike / walk bride at Kruse Way is the only 24 / 7 bike / walk bridge in Washington County. The Rock Creek and Tualatin River Greenway crossings of freeways are only open during park hours.
Lots of folks claiming this infrastructure goes to nowhere. Ronler Drive, with raised bike lanes referred to by Adam in a comment above, goes to Intel Ronler Acres and it connects to the CP separated bike lanes pictured above. A few thousand people work at Intel 24/7/365. Perhaps in the future even more may work there – who knows. The widening was needed during rush hours. Perhaps these bike lanes will encourage more folks to commute to Intel via bike. That’s the goal, right?
Also, Adam mentioned raised bike lanes on Century Blvd which runs between major residential developments, a MAX station, and Intel. Perhaps they’ll improve the rest of the bike lanes in this area and make it even better. It’s a start.
How about safely getting across the the other side of the freeway, 26 ?
Getting safely across to the other side of 26? It’s no MUP, but there are conventional bike lanes and sidewalks on the Cornelius Pass Road freeway bridge, both sides.
It is a start, but I wonder about those long distances from curb to curb at many of the major intersections. Extra wide streets with lots of traffic always scare me. They look more like the long crosswalks I’ve seen in YouTube video of LA. Can these crosswalks really be considered safe routes to school? The long crosswalk at 99w and Capitol Hwy. is another one…I think it’s the longest one in Portland. Tokyo often has ped bridges or tunnels over or under busy streets and intersections. Intersections like these should have bridges (preferably enclosed) or tunnels for safety’s sake.
The Barbur Transit center has a bouncy walk / bike bridge over I-5.
Rode the full length of this for the first time a couple weeks ago, although I’d been on parts of it while it was still under construction, going back to last winter when it was under snow and ice. No it’s not perfect, but way better than bike lanes would be on that nightmare of a car sewer.
I do hope it doesn’t take too long to extend it across the Sunset and connect to the Rock Creek trail on that side. Meanwhile Evergreen is a good connection to the Rock Creek. If the soon-to-be-restriped bike lanes are uncomfortable the sidewalk on Evergreen’s north side has very few driveways.
By the way I would agree on NEVER advising anyone to ride Cedar Hills Blvd. I’ve sometimes done that part of the route as described, but my preferred route from that MAX stop to Jenkins is to exit the station on Millikan, then north on Hocken to Jenkins. Decent bike lanes the whole way, and also takes you right past New Seasons FWIW.
I’ve got a comment to this story stuck in moderation since the 29th. Why is that?
Anyway…glowboy, if you ever get a chance to read this comment…as to the early part of the described route in this story from Beaverton, west out to the Hillsboro area where the new cycle track section has been installed:
To avoid even more traffic than is possible in the route alternative you describe, from the transit center, setting out on Millikan Way (the short section of dirt path just west of Lombard on the transit center’s west border, is now I believe, paved, or very close to being so.), it’s possible to continue riding west across Hocken, across Murray, taking the Westside Trail MUP regional trail to Merlo Rd, and from there, southerly to either 170th, or north to 158th to Baseline or Walker further north, at which point to get to Hillsboro, turning again west would be the ticket.
Until Merlo, what I’ve described is a fairly low traffic route, outside of commute hours. Lots of traffic from Tek on Millikan Way, but it’s not a long distance, and its manageable. The new Westside Trail section of MUP is great…natural countryside on both sides of the trail. Taking this same MUP west of Merlo takes some thinking and some road crossings…but it’s ok for slow bike travel. …little by little, Washington County, Beaverton, Hillsboro and Tri-met, work on adding things to have conditions for biking become gradually better out here/
Glad to hear that little dirt trail connecting east end of Millikan with Beaverton TC is getting paved … heaven knows I’ve fishtailed through the mud on that more times than I can count.
I like the new segments of the Westside/Powerline MUP you describe, but I would hesitate to recommend anyone remain on Millikan west of Murray just to get to them. That no-bike-lanes section of Millikan used to be on my daily commute, and it’s nasty with cut-through drivers going way too fast for the curves.’ However, for someone already on Jenkins the path is a nice way to get up to Walker or Cornell and avoid some of the heavy traffic on Baseline.
This used to be a railroad grade I believe. You can still see the remnants of the railroad North of Hwy 26. Example:

Hope this is rail-to-trailed.
