South Beach Loop Path projects finished, final railings planned on SE 40th

Newport City Council · July 20, 2026

Summary

Officials said three South Beach Loop Path components are complete: sidewalk repair on SE 35th, an Abalone–state-park connector to limit informal crossings through a nearby camp, and an extended multi-use path on SE 40th tying the community college to the Hatfield campus; a railing will be added near a city-managed storm pond.

Derek Toka told council three components of the South Beach Loop Path are complete: sidewalk work on Southeast 35th (with drainage and overlay), a connector from Abalone to the state park to reduce informal crossings through a nearby camp, and an extended multi-use path on Southeast 40th that now links the community college to the Hatfield campus.

Toka said the projects improve bike and pedestrian options and reduce the need for people to travel on U.S. 101. He added one small remaining piece on SE 40th will receive a safety railing near a storm pond the city manages.
