Bike Projects

The City is working to make biking safer, easier, and more enjoyable for everyone. Projects are happening across the city and include both on-street bike routes and off-street paths and trails. Whether you’re commuting, running errands, or riding for fun, these improvements are designed to help people of all ages and abilities get around comfortably by bike.

Gresham Greenways

Gresham Greenways are low-traffic, low-speed neighborhood streets designed to be comfortable for bike riders of all ages. These routes are typically marked with pavement markings (sharrows) and signs to help riders navigate and remind vehicles to share the road. First identified in the City’s Active Transportation Plan, Greenway routes help connect neighborhoods to everyday destinations, like schools, parks, jobs, and stores. The City has prioritized improvements for the top ten Greenway routes. Several are already complete, with more on the way.

Gresham Paths and Trails

Gresham’s multi-use paths and trails provide wide, paved routes that are separated from car traffic. They are shared by bicyclists, pedestrians, and other users, making them great for both everyday trips and recreation. Major paths like the Springwater Corridor Trail, Gresham-Fairview Trail, and I-84 Path are part of a growing regional network that connects Gresham to neighboring cities, regional parks, and nearby natural areas. Where paths cross busy streets, the City uses specific crossing designs to help people walking and biking cross safely.

What we’re working on

  • Gresham-Fairview Trail Phase 4 project
    This year, the City will construct a 12-foot multi-use path along the west side of NE 201st, between NE Halsey and NE Sandy. The new 0.6-mile trail connects Gresham-Fairview Trail on both ends and constructs a new crossing to connect to the I-84 multi-use path. View the map. This project is funded by a regional grant from Metro.

  • Park paths
    Transportation staff secured two grants worth over $1.3 million through ODOT’s Community Paths Program to develop multi-use paths in North Gresham Park and Columbia View Park. These paths will allow connections to Gresham Greenways through the park, making routes to local destinations more direct.

Recently completed

  • 2023: Gresham-Fairview Trail gap
    In 2023, the City filled in a gap on the Gresham-Fairview Trail at Burnside and 197th Avenue where it connects to the Wy'East Way path. It provides a more direct connection between the trails so users can avoid traveling on-street. The City held a ribbon-cutting and inaugural ride to celebrate.

  • 2020: Wy'East Way signage
    The City installed signs along the two-mile, 12-foot-wide multi-use path that runs along the MAX light rail line from Ruby Junction Station in Rockwood to Cleveland Station in downtown Gresham. The new signs identify the Wy'East Way and highlight local destinations people can visit using the trail system. Learn more about Wy'East Way.
