  • The Portland Tribune Barbara Walker Crossing Opens
    The Portland Tribune Barbara Walker Crossing opens By KOIN 6 News October 27, 2019 New pedestrian bridge over West Burnside opened with a party Sunday morning that included a tribal blessing A street party with all-you-can-eat pancakes commemorated the grand opening of the Barbara Walker Crossing early Sunday, Oct. 27. The party was scheduled to last until 11:30 a.m. The Barbara Walker Crossing is a brand new bridge over West Burnside that connects Forest Park and Washington Park through the Wildwood Trail — bridging the gap between safety and adventure. The party began at 8:30 a.m. with a parade to the bridge from Northwest 24th Place and Burnside. The event had food, music, a tribal blessing, and a performance by local dance troupe Bodyvox. There were also free commemorative t-shirts to the first 300 who cross through the new bridge's gates. Construction on the Barbara Walker Crossing was completed by Oct. 13. It ensures a safe crossing of West Burnside Street for walkers, hikers and runners on the Wildwood Trail. The trail is 30 miles long and connects pedestrians to destinations like the Hoyt Arboretum, Washington Park and the Pittock Mansion, making them more accessible. The long-anticipated crossing cost $4 million and took four years to complete. The nonprofit Portland Parks Foundation spearheaded the project and the fundraising. More than 60% of the total cost was paid for by private donors with government entities, including the parks bureau, footing the rest of the bill. Designed by Ed Carpenter, the Barbara Walker Crossing is a study in the marriage of art and practicality, with forms along the side of the bridge mirroring the shape of native sword ferns.
