The Green Loop is a proposed urban design concept for a 6-mile-long linear park in Portland, Oregon, United States.[1][2][3][4][5] First put forward in 2012,[6] The Green Loop is part of the Portland Central City 2035 plan.[7] Rather than have a single consistent designer, the park will be made of multiple connecting projects led by neighborhood partners.[8][9]
Key Information
The Green Loop
The Blumenauer Bridge was the first section of the Green Loop to be completed
Construction on the I-5 Rose Quarter Improvement Project[13] is set to begin in the summer of 2025[14] creating a pedestrian pathway between the Rose Quarter and the Lloyd District.
The Broadway Corridor Project will continue the Green Loop through the addition of two new North Park Blocks.[15] Construction began in 2024 and is estimated to take 15-20 years.[16]
Block 216 continues the Green Loop path for a single block through downtown.[17]
The Culinary Corridor has been suggested as a way to add room for food carts along the path of the Green Loop as it moves through the heart of downtown. If the full idea were put in place, a parking lane from NW Burnside Blvd. through Portland State University would put food trucks in, what Randy Gragg (director of the Portland Parks Foundation) calls, “underused right of way."[19][20] The Cart Blocks comprise a portion of this vision,[21] along with Block 216 and Darcelle XV Plaza.[22]
The South Park Blocks Master Plan would expand the sidewalk along the west side of the south park blocks to create a Green Loop path.[23]
