Kellogg Dam Habitat Restoration - By restoring 14 acres of native wetlands in the former lake bed, Kellogg for Coho will provide crucial habitat for native plants and wildlife, including several Endangered Species Act-listed fish such as Lower Colombia coho salmon, Spring Chinook salmon, and Steelhead.

Fish Passage - Removing Kellogg Dam will open almost 9 miles of stream habitat. Due to its ecological potential, Kellogg for Coho is prioritized in local, regional and state recovery and resource management plans.

Downtown Revitalization - The initiative will restore a natural area adjacent to Milwaukie’s developing, transit-oriented South Downtown and will be a significant amenity to the community.

Public Education - The restored creek will provide community access to a wealth of public education opportunities. Citizens and visitors alike can learn how urban re-development can support both environmental and economic agendas.

Supporting Transportation Options - A new OR-99E bridge over Kellogg Creek would improve Milwaukie’s infrastructure and support bike and pedestrian options in the vicinity of the creek. The full project could include a bike/pedestrian under-crossing between downtown and Riverfront Park.
