Mt. Hood Corridor
built 645 days ago
Completed in 1996, the resulting Mt. Hood Corridor Study yielded a set of guiding principles to be applied to all future modifications to the entire Mt. Hood Highway over the next 20 years. Establishing the guiding resource conservation principles very early in the planning stages became the critical step to avoid many later obstacles and delays in the development and design phases.

There were plans to construct a freeway alignment of US 26 through eastern Portland--the so-called Mt. Hood Freeway; ... this project was cancelled as a result of the freeway revolts in the 1970s. A few ghost ramps from Interstate 5 (on the Marquam Bridge) stand as evidence of this project. Roadway connections between the Portland freeway network and Mt. Hood remain a big problem; as there is no good direct highway connection. The proposed Sunrise Corridor may eventually offer a long-term solution; however construction of this route is several years off.

These successes are the result of grassroots strategies that the Mt. Hood Coalition Against Drug Crime started implementing years ago. Even before the site received official Weed and Seed recognition, community members partnered with law enforcement by reporting all suspected illegal drug activity, recording license plate numbers, taking photos, and writing down descriptions of suspicious people and activities. Soon, law enforcement realized the extent of illegal activity throughout this rural community and began applying its own pressure.

The Mt. Hood area is unique, and the policies of the Mt. Hood Community Plan recognize this character. The economy of the community is dependent upon the conservation of the environment, which creates the setting so attractive to both residents and visitors. The Mt. Hood Community Plan, in conjunction with the Clackamas County Comprehensive Plan, provides the guidelines to assure reasonable development potential consistent with the need for environmental conservation.
