The Sunrise Corridor is one of the fastest-growing areas in Clackamas County — a place where neighborhoods, businesses, and major transportation routes all come together.
With 7,600 residents, 700 businesses, and more than 14,000 employees, this community is thriving and on the move. Highway 212, which runs through the corridor, is also one of the busiest East/West freight routes in the state and serves Happy Valley, one of the fastest-growing cities in the state!
But with growth comes both challenges and opportunities. How do we make sure roads keep people safe and freight moving? How do we support local businesses while strengthening the character of our neighborhoods? And how do we balance new development with open space, health, and access to nature?
The Sunrise Corridor Community Vision Plan tackles these questions. Shaped by more than 1,500 community voices, the plan lays out a path to transform this area into a vibrant hub — with safer streets, stronger connections, better transit, thriving businesses, and healthy, welcoming neighborhoods for everyone.

The Sunrise Corridor Community Vision Plan
Clackamas County, working with the Oregon Department of Transportation, Metro, and the City of Happy Valley, is leading a long-term project to help the Sunrise Corridor community thrive. More than 1,500 community members shaped the Sunrise Corridor Community Vision Plan, a roadmap for the future of this growing part of Clackmas County. Officially accepted by the Clackamas County Board of Commissioners and the City of Happy Valley in 2025, this plan reflects what neighbors, workers, businesses, and visitors said they want: safer streets, thriving local businesses, access to nature, and strong, connected neighborhoods. This community input shaped a shared vision, goals, and a draft list of actions, organized around four main priorities:
Transportation
Support the transportation needs of the community by improving design and capacity in order to enhance the road system in this community.
Jobs and Economy
Strengthen business and job opportunities in this region.
Neighborhoods and Places
Cultivate a neighborhood identify and prevent displacement.
Open Space, Public Health, and Environment
Increase health and well-being and access to nature and recreation.
