  • A Strategic Plan for Improving Water-Based
    A STRATEGIC PLAN FOR IMPROVING WATER-BASED TOURISM IN OREGON’S MT HOOD TERRITORY submitted to The Destination Marketing Organization for Clackamas County 150 Beavercreek Rd, Oregon City, OR www.mthoodterritory.com submitted by TH MARCH 20 2018 STRATEGIC PLAN FOR WATER-BASED TOURISM IN OREGON’S MT HOOD TERRITORY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1-1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Water is fun. Nearly everyone has experienced the pleasure of a refreshing dip on a hot summer day, the mist of a waterfall, or the thrill of a cliff jump. Some seek solitude by the edge of a lonely stream, others find excitement in extreme whitewater. Youth splash, teens jump, adults wade, but we all look to water for reprieve from our daily routine. Water recreation gives us a chance to see life differently. We test our skills with a fishing rod or a paddle, we relax on a float, and we use water as a medium to gather family and friends. Oregon’s recreational waters are visited 80 million times annually by people looking to swim, fish, surf, sail, paddle or simply sit by the beach. It seems that water is not only essential to life, but to our happiness. People migrate towards water for fun and Clackamas County has a lot of it. Mt Hood Territory, Clackamas County’s tourism marketing organization, initiated this comprehensive study to determine if its water recreation assets are being used to their greatest economic potential. Are the county’s rivers and lakes attracting visitors and maximizing their enjoyment? Are they being managed and marketed in a sustainable manner to increase water-based recreation? Do they generate overnight stays without degrading the environment or the experience? To answer these questions, the county hired Crane Associates of Burlington Vermont, a consulting firm with 20 years of international and domestic experience in environmental economics and sustainable economic development with a specialty in water-based recreation.

  • Spring 2019 Bridge Type Public Involvement Summary
    Spring 2019 Bridge Type Public Involvement Summary May 28, 2019 Prepared for the City of Wilsonville Prepared By EnviroIssues 1515 SW 5th Avenue Portland, OR 97201 503.248.9500 Introduction The City of Wilsonville, in partnership with Clackamas County, Metro and the Oregon Department of Transportation, is planning and developing designs for a proposed bicycle/pedestrian/emergency-access bridge across the Willamette River. The bridge would be located at the approximate site of the historic Boones Ferry, located between the I-5 Boone Bridge and the railroad bridge to the west. Regional and community leaders have worked since 2016 to deliver on a 20-year vision to better connect the region’s trail system and close a gap for safe bicycle and pedestrian travel across the Willamette River. In 2018, the Wilsonville City Council and Clackamas County Board of County Commissioners affirmed the French Prairie Bridge Task Force recommendation and selected an alignment for the new bridge that would connect the City’s Boones Ferry Park on the north side of the river to Northeast Butteville Road, opposite the Boones Ferry Boat Launch on the south side. In January 2019, the Wilsonville City Council supported the recommendation of the French Prairie Bridge Task Force designating two bridge types for further study among the five considered by the project team. The selected bridge types are a suspension bridge and cable-stayed bridge. The project team is now assessing these two bridge types for this preferred bridge location. This report summarizes public input received during April and May 2019, which will inform discussions of a community task force in June 2019.
