A group of six Master of Urban and Regional Planning (MURP) students from Portland State University (PSU) are partnering with the CTUIR to plan a multi-use trail that will improve walkability and connectivity within the community. The trail will encourage physical activity and enable people to enjoy the natural environment of the reservation.

Nixyáawii Watikš aims to improve access to essential services, promote economic opportunities, and preserve the community's cultural and environmental heritage.

Potential Trail Area

We Want to Hear from You!

From late March to early May 2023, the group will be conducting engagement activities with the CTUIR community to gather feedback from residents, review alternative routes, and suggest an alignment that best meets community needs.
