The Willamette River Greenway Program, established by the 1967 Oregon legislature, is a cooperative state and local government effort to maintain and enhance the scenic, recreational, historic, natural and agricultural qualities of the Willamette River and its adjacent lands.〔(Willamette River Recreation Guide ), from Oregon State Parks web site〕 A number of trails exist along the greenway, but significant gaps still exist.〔(Willamette River Greenway ), from the Metro web site〕 Oregon State Treasurer Robert Straub first proposed public ownership of lands along the Willamette in 1966, during his run for Governor of Oregon.〔(Willamette Greenway Act ) (2002), by Kathy Tucker, from the Oregon History Project.〕 U.S. Senator Maurine Neuberger sought federal funds to support the program.〔(Oregon History Project )〕 Straub was defeated in that race by Tom McCall, who supported the proposal.〔 The 1973 Oregon legislature passed the Willamette River Greenway Act, which established ties to a comprehensive state land use law (Oregon Senate Bill 100) passed that same year.〔 In 1975, the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development included the Willamette River Greenway as one of nineteen standards for statewide planning, requiring that public access, native vegetation, and scenic views be considered when planning new developments.〔 == See also == * Land use in Oregon * Tom McCall Waterfront Park: portion of the greenway in downtown Portland * Vera Katz Eastbank Esplanade: more greenway near downtown Portland * 40 Mile Loop: Willamette Greenway is one portion of extensive pathways throughout Portland * Oregon Beach Bill: public access to ocean beaches was presumed early in Oregon's history, but asserted by law in 1966 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Willamette Greenway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
