Previously, in February, the City gathered public input on which themes and elements to prioritize as concepts were drafted. The community relayed its preference for a visually iconic bridge that incorporated artistic elements and integrated nature and sustainable design.
The I-5 Pedestrian Bridge provides a safe pedestrian/bike crossing of Interstate 5 to better connect the Villebois neighborhood and the Wilsonville Transit Center to Wilsonville Town Center and adjacent neighborhoods. First identified as a need in the 2006 Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, the project was added to the Transportation System Plan (TSP) in 2013.
The Gateway Plaza provides a new public gathering space, identified as a community priority during development of the Town Center Plan. The plaza is to be built on a City-owned parcel at the east bridge landing.
