SW Boones Ferry and Stephenson Intersection


The Arnold Creek Neighborhood Association’s efforts in advocating for safety improvements to the Boones Ferry/Stephenson intersection have resulted in funding of $1.2 million from the Portland Bureau of Transportation. The neighborhood must use-it-or-lose-it by June 2012. A vote was taken at the May 8, 2012 Arnold Creek Neighborhood Association meeting to move forward with proposed improvements or surrender funding.

The Fourth Annual Arnold Creek Grand Garlic Mustard Pull

We have now advanced on Arnold all the way from Boones Ferry Rd. to Lancaster. We also ventured onto Boones Ferry Rd. and pulled the area around the confluence of Tryon and Arnold Creeks. This piece of the right of way has always been sprayed in the past. So thanks to Liz for leading the effort and Richard, Dianne, Sharon, Christine, Laurie, Jenny and Ellen for their heroic work. We have made a major contribution with our efforts. BES is holding off spraying in Arnold Creek until April 30th. Several of your neighbors will be working individually over this week to complete Arnold, do 35th and Stephenson. So if all that work gets done it means that BFRd is the only right of way which will get sprayed this year in Arnold Creek NA. Good Work!
