and doggie bag station for Housing Authority of Portland tenants and their guests at the east side of Fairview Oaks and Woods Apartments.
• Trailhead fencing at the Bridge Street entrance to
protect the neighboring property.
• 50-foot wide vegetation management buffer along
all trails.
• Decommissioned informal trails. • Non-native invasive plants removal. • Vegetation removal to reduce areas of concealment
