Progress on proposed trail system


There has been much buzz about the proposed Chehalem Heritage Trail, a major trail system that would connect Newberg to Dundee. We want you to know what's going on with the project.

We have just scheduled the first meeting of a new advisory committee. This committee will advise on what is tentatively being called the Newberg-Dundee Connector segment of the trail system. This includes the first three segments of the Strategic Plan - Dayton Avenue, Hess Creek and the Willamette Riverfront.

There are four meetings planned for this committee between now and January.

The first meeting is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 20 at the CPRD District Office.

About the project

The proposed Chehalem Heritage Trail will be an outstanding continuous 70+ mile trail system connecting Newberg, Dundee and surrounding areas while preserving and enhancing the greater Chehalem Valley community parks, historic heritage, native habitats and open space.
