Portland has announced the schedule for Sunday Parkways this year (its fifth year).

And as in prior years, perhaps even more important this year because of the City budget, the request for fundraising has gone out as well.

Last week I made my contribution of $100 to the “Every Dollar Counts” campaign for Sunday Parkways. I hope many of our readers will join me, at what ever level they can, to support this important community program.

Sunday Parkways not only celebrates all the ways we can get around with a combustion-powered vehicle, it also helps introduce many of our neighbors and neighborhoods to how safe and fun those alternatives can be!
