The Portland Water Bureau and Portland Parks & Recreation will hold a public open house on Monday, January 25, 2010, at Parklane Christian Reformed Church, 16001 SE Main Street in Southeast Portland, from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. The public will have an opportunity to view and comment on a proposed new trail plan for Powell Butte Nature Park and several trail options that serve hikers, bicyclists and equestrians. The trail changes are based on suggestions from the community and a citizens' Project Advisory Committee (PAC). The public will also have another chance to review designs for a new interpretive center and public restroom, a caretaker's house, and new maintenance building.
The PAC is comprised of representatives from the Audubon Society, Northwest Trails Alliance, Friends of Powell Butte Nature Park, Columbia River Orienteering Club, nearby homeowners, and the Powellhurst-Gilbert, Centennial and Pleasant Valley neighborhood associations.
