Sullivan's Gulch Trail waits to get on track
Imagine you’re stuck on the Banfield Freeway during rush hour, gazing to the north as bicycle commuters whiz past.
Might you consider biking to work next time?
That’s what city officials and neighborhood activists hope, as they begin work on a $224,000 project to plan a five-mile Sullivan’s Gulch Trail north of the MAX and Union Pacific rail lines that hug the freeway.
“I almost see it as an expressway for bicycling,” says Brad Perkins, one of a handful of activists who lobbied for the money, and recently was appointed to a new advisory committee to help prepare the concept plan.
The bicycle and pedestrian trail, which first appeared on city and regional wish lists in 1996, would provide a vital east-west link between the Interstate 205 bike and pedestrian trail and the Eastbank Esplanade along the Willamette River.
A speedy bike route linking downtown to the Gateway, Hollywood and Lloyd districts is the kind of project the city needs if it hopes to meet its lofty goals to triple bike commuting and slash carbon emissions. It’s no stretch to envision speedy bicyclists beating the commute times of motorists slogging along the Banfield.
To gauge potential use of the bikeway, look at the freeway, says Paul Smith, transportation planning manager for the Portland Bureau of Transportation. “It’s the same kind of travel demand, if you will,” says Smith, who is managing the project.
A pipe dream for years, the Sullivan’s Gulch Trail project is moving into high gear. The $224,000 in regional transportation funds for the feasibility study and concept plan was approved in 2007, but the money wasn’t released until late May. The city recently hired consultant CH2M Hill of Portland to plot the alignment, work with affected property owners and help estimate construction costs. The citizens advisory committee got to work last week.
City of Portland Archives, Oregon/A2009-009.1458 • Sullivan’s Gulch, shown here in 1932 looking east from Northeast 15th Avenue, was used for freight trains back then, and as a place for Depression-era homeless people to camp. Later, the Banfield Freeway was built and then the first MAX line. Now the city hopes to construct a bicycle and pedestrian path in Sullivan's Gulch, though the city may have to strike a deal with Union Pacific, which owns rights of way north of its freight line.
