A request for proposals for the Milwaukie Riverfront Park's final design was issued August 11th, 2006 in the Daily Journal of Commerce. This contract will be for the formal design of the park based on a concept plan proposed by the Riverfront board and endorsed by the Milwaukie City Council in May 2006. JoAnn Herrigel, coordinator for the project, met with 14 potential designers August 21st for an on-site, pre-proposal meeting. The deadline for proposal submittals is September 1, 2006. 

Last fall many Milwaukie residents shared their vision for the future park through a citizen survey. The Riverfront Board took that information and incorporated it into a final concept plan that was presented to City Council on May 16th. Council unanimously endorsed the plan, marking a significant step in the creation of Milwaukie Riverfront Park. The concept plan endorsed by Council provides the basic features and layout of the future park. The final design will be affected by various constraints such as topography, access, and other concerns. 

For more than five years the Milwaukie Riverfront Board has been working to develop a concept plan for Milwaukie Riverfront Park that not only takes full advantage of the site’s natural beauty but also accommodates the many recreation uses the area currently supports. For more information, please contact JoAnn Herrigel at 503-786-7508.
