Council Creek Trail maintenance agreement
Summary
The East-West trail connecting Cornelius, Hillsboro, and Forest Grove is designed and permitted, but construction is stuck waiting on a Federal Highway Administration amendment. An online open house on the 23 road crossings is planned for April; councilors asked for in-person and Spanish-language options so everyone can participate.
