Why:
On June 22, 2008, from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. the City of Portland will host its first Sunday Parkways event. The one-day event is an opportunity for North Portland residents to get out and be active in their own neighborhood, without traffic. Sunday Parkways will encourage residents to walk, bike, run, stroll, meet neighbors, and enjoy entertainment in parks and along the route – a six-mile loop of traffic-tree streets in North Portland (see attached proposed route).

Residents along the route will be able to get to and from their residences with small barricades and volunteers helping to limit access to the route.
