This project aims to develop new segments of the Westside Regional Trail between NW 158th & Walker Rd to NW Kaiser Rd including a pedestrian bridge over U.S. Highway 26. The future trail segments and bridge will create a link connecting over 25-miles of regional trails for pedestrians and bicyclists to reach destinations across Washington County. Key destinations include schools, businesses, neighborhoods, parks, recreation centers, natural areas, and transit stations.

The current phase of the project focuses on creating construction plans and fundraising for the bridge construction, and on completing a feasibility study and public engagement to begin designing the trail segments.

The district completed a bridge feasibility study in 2022 to guide the design process, and in 2024 also launched a feasibility study to design the trail segments leading to and from the bridge. Pending grant funding, THPRD anticipates construction of the bridge by 2030.

The future trail segments and bridge project, to date, are funded by a combination of THPRD’s system development charge fund, Metro’s 2019 Parks & Nature Bond fund, Metro’s Regional Flexible fund, the Oregon Community Paths Program grant, and the Washington County Major Streets Transportation Improvement Program (MSTIP) Opportunity fund.
