 Rock Creek Concerns...

   

 SE 162nd Avenue Community Park


In March 2008, the North Clackamas Parks and Recreation District purchased 33 acres of property off SE 162nd Avenue in Happy Valley. Some of the uses suggested for the property include athletic fields, trails, play areas, skate park, dog park and community center. Currently, NCPRD is conducting public outreach to develop a concept plan for the site. more

 A Vision for 172nd & Sunnyside


With the blessing of Rock Creek CPO members, I present a vision for the corner of 172nd Avenue and Sunnyside Road.

Happy Valley is currently reviewing a proposed increase to their maximum commercial building size limit from the existing 60,000 square feet to 150,000 square feet. This change was requested by Gramor Development to build a Kroger's Fred Meyer at the northwest corner of 172nd Ave and Sunnyside.

This presentation presents a challenge to think bigger... to create a vision for making Happy Valley unique and interesting along 172nd. - George Allen

 East Happy Valley Comprehensive Plan


Our Rock Creek valley will grow quickly as part of the newly designated Urban Growth Boundary. How it grows is being planned now.

The City of Happy Valley is zoning for properties around 172nd Avenue that were brought into the Urban Growth Boundary in 2004. If you would like further information, please contact Jason Tuck, Economic and Community Development Director, or Lynette Garbarino, Executive Assistant, at 503-760-3325.

Join the Rock Creek CPO effort to help design an original "vision" of our community, keeping it interesting, clean, quiet, attractive, and a great place to live. Help insure the plan includes input from the people who live here by attending CPO meetings.

   

 172ND AVE EXPANSION (& SUNNYSIDE)


A roundabout is being considered for south 172nd. See the alternatives at Clackamas County SE 172nd Avenue Improvements.

Over the past months, Clackamas County has been analyzing alternatives for upgrading and widening SE 172nd Avenue between Sunnyside Road and Highway 212. See more information at HHPR 172nd Project.

The most likely alternative route: Least Impact Alignment

  NEW PROPOSED STREET SYSTEM FOR ROCK CREEK
