Occupies portions of the largest
undeveloped parcel on the Metro rapid transit line (MAX). The Gresham
civic center, which includes city hall, are included in this
neighborhood. The Civic Neighborhood is planned
at relative high
densities of mixed residential, commercial and retail uses in a design
that features quality
of life amenities and maintains the integrity of
adjacent neighborhoods. The street plan, size of blocks, wide,
landscaped sidewalks, and bike paths all enhance out-of-car mobility
within the new neighborhood,
with adjacent neighborhoods, and with the
historic downtown. The Civic Neighborhood plan takes full advantage of
recent investment in rapid transit. The center and heart of this new
neighborhood is a MAX station and its companion plaza located at the
intersection of the line and the new north-south main
street -- Civic
Drive.
The downtown Gresham area has a shop for
everyone. Be careful you could spend an entire day exploring
all the
shops. Art, chocolatier, old fashioned soda fountain, children's
fashion, books and collectibles. Our farmer's market might be your
favorite.

The Springwater Corridor is a former rail corridor that has been
converted to an alternative transportation and recreational trail. It
is the major southeast segment of the 40-Mile Loop, originally
conceived in 1903 to form
a nature trail encircling the city. Today
the loop is over 170 miles long. The Springwater Corridor extends
from
SE Fourth & Ivon in Portland to the town of Boring. Within the
corridor, the completed trail is 14 miles long, beginning east of
McLoughlin Blvd. near Tideman Johnson Park, and continuing east
through Gresham just past the Clackamas County line. The trail serves
hundreds of thousands of commuters and recreational trail users each
year.
