The walking, jogging and cycling path that links communities along the Willamette River will expand in North Portland, onto property that Metro and City of Portland Parks & Recreation and the Bureau of Environmental Services collaborated to purchase. A 6-acre addition to the Willamette River Greenway will allow the city to build more than one-third mile of trail north of the St. Johns Bridge, at North Catlin Avenue and North Decatur Streets. Metro and the city have made significant progress this summer in the Baltimore Woods Connectivity Corridor, the name community advocates gave a missing piece of the greenway between Cathedral and Pier parks. Less than half a mile from the new acquisition, the city recently purchased a cluster of three properties totaling one acre – supported by a combination of funding, including a grant from Metro's Nature in Neighborhoods program, the city's share of natural area bond funds and the city's Grey to Green program.
