New Bike Path?

[Boomer3791]

Does anyone know anything about the bike path being constructed from the SE corner of NW Expressway & Portland Ave. and heading south? It currently runs south along the east side of Portland, then east on NW 56th street, south along N. Grand Blvd, then crosses NW 50th and continues south tucked in behind the wall on the west side of Lake Hefner Pkwy. I'm going to assume it will connect with Will Rogers Park at some point. There isn't any path going south from Lake Hefner along Portland to the point where this new path starts (not even a bike lane) but maybe that's part of a future plan? Here's a shot from Google Earth with the red line representing the path that is currently under construction.

It's Will Rogers Trail, part of MAPS3.

That's exactly the answer I was looking for. Thanks!

Thanks Pete! I've been trying to determine the exact location of the path, since the cartoon is a bit vague in places. I live right near this, so I am very excited to have a direct path from Hefner to the River!

I've created a dedicated thread with all the detailed graphics which show exactly how this path will be implemented:
