Milwaukie adopts plan to encourage Monroe Street walking, biking
“The marching order today is go find money,” Milwaukie Mayor Mark Gamba told city staff as the City Council last week unanimously passed a resolution to adopt a concept plan for the Monroe Street Neighborhood Greenway.
The project would cost about $8 million in 2015 dollars, but no funds have been secured. Adopted plans intend to strengthen Monroe Street’s “neighborhood” character, from Southeast 21st Avenue in downtown Milwaukie to Linwood Avenue at the city’s eastern boundary, by reducing the speed and volume of cut-through traffic and increasing feelings of safety and comfort for all road users.
