University of Oregon – City of SalemUpdated: June 9, 2010 Sustainable Cities Initiative
Downtown Parks Connectivity
Purpose of Project:
•
Connect Salem’s core area parks with a system of urban trails and bicycle routes that improve
pedestrian and bicycle accessibility and enhance the recreational potential of the parks system and
enjoyment of parks patrons.
Desired Outcomes/Project Objectives
•
Enhance connections between Wallace Marine Park, Riverfront Park, Minto-Brown Island Park,
and Bush’s Pasture Park, via Mill Race Trail, Pringle Trail, and other future trail and bridge connections
across and along the Willamette Slough, through the Boise property and other private and publicly
owned properties.
•
Further examine implementing Court Street underpass connection from Downtown to Riverfront Park (plans available).
•
Examine how to connect the Union Street Railroad Bridge to points further east and north to
connect to north downtown, Marion Square Park, Union Street, and Chemeketa Street.
•
Integrate access to and from Wallace Marine Park with existing and on-going development
plans for West Salem.
•
Integrate Vision 2020 bicycle and pedestrian goals and objectives into access to other Core Area
parks, possible new town square, and new striping plans for downtown streets and other improvements to be constructed with the Streets and Bridges Bond projects.
•
Identify inter-park and intra-park improvements that would enhance recreational opportunities
(i.e. marathons, walk-a-thons, leisure walking and bicycling).
•
Plan to implement two-way traffic flow on State Street between Commercial Street and Liberty
Street once relocation of the State Street access to Riverfront Park is complete.
Deliverables/Work Products
•
An integrated set of alternatives for downtown bicycle and pedestrian access from which to
initiate community outreach and develop a preferred Parks Connectivity Plan
