Marshall Park Bridge Meeting 14-Feb-2008

MARSHALL PARK BRIDGE MEETING  -  14-Feb-2008.  

Portland Parks Dept came to the Marshall Park neighborhood meeting to discuss the condemned footbridge in Marshall Park.  This bridge is part of the most popular trail in the park.  It crosses the stream leading up to the cascading falls which is the most beautiful area of the entire park, and one of the prettiest natural spots in the city.
