Parks and Sustainability Committee — August 20, 2026
Only about 50 of the planned 100 miles of the Loop are built, and the remaining sections are the hardest — involving land acquisition and right-of-way negotiations. Maintenance is strained: three Parks staff cover 31 miles, and a flood-prone section near Portland Wharf and Shawnee has been closed for years.
