Milwaukie Riverfront Park Makes a Major Step

Last fall many Milwaukie residents shared their vision for the future park through a citizen survey. The Riverfront Board took that information and formulated a final concept plan that was presented to City Council on May 16th. Council unanimously endorsed the plan, marking an incredibly significant step in the creation of Milwaukie Riverfront Park. 

“The Riverfront Board has been struggling with a concept plan for the Riverfront Park for several years,” Community Services Manger JoAnn Herrigel said. “Their recent success at arriving at a concept that all seven Riverfront Board members and the City Council endorses is a major victory for the City of Milwaukie.” 

Staff hopes to issue a Request For Proposals for the final design of the park by the end of this summer. Upon completion, the final design moves to the Planning Commission for review, and once approved, efforts to raise funding for construction will begin.
