SW Boones Ferry Road Walkway from Orchard Hill Rd to City Limits
This project is funded by “Fixing Our Streets 2” 10-cent gas tax revenue.
Project was completed in 2025.
Southwest in Motion (SWIM) Project BP-40 Boones Ferry Walkway improved pedestrian safety along SW Boones Ferry Rd, between SW Orchard Hill Rd and our local grocery and shopping center Oswego Towne Square.
Neighbors ranked safe walking and biking routes that connect to schools, Oswego Town Square, and Tryon Creek State Park as the top priority in the 2023 Arnold Creek Neighborhood Survey.
Arnold Creek Neighborhood Association advocated for implementation of this project and provided a platform for neighbors to make improvements to PBOT’s proposed design.
Neighborhood response to the project is documented in the 2025 Transportation Survey Report as overwhelmingly positive. The vast majority of the 71 responses express strong appreciation, gratitude, and happiness for the project’s completion.
