2011 North Portland Sunday Parkways

Video of the 2011 North Portland Sunday Parkways in Portland, Oregon.

Sunday Parkways allows people to walk, bike run, roll, meet neighbors, and enjoy entertainment in the parks and along the routes.

Opening streets to walking, bicycling, rolling, and roller blading - without having to watch out for cars!

Sunday Parkways are 7-8 mile "temporary parks" along city streets connecting neighborhoods and residents in North, Northeast and Southeast Portland.

A relaxed, non-competitive, FREE event featuring a variety of activities in several parks and along the routes.

Intersections are staffed by volunteers allowing residents to get to and from their driveways, with larger streets supervised by Portland Police Bureau staff and certified flaggers.

Sunday Parkways gives Portlanders a chance to get out and be active right in their own neighborhood. Participants walk, bike, roll, run, stroll, and roller blad along the route to activities in the parks as well as to nearby shops and businesses in the vicinity.

Why?

Sunday Parkways highlights Portland as a walkable and bikeable city. Sunday Parkways is ideal for connecting neighborhoods by bringing people together with healthy activities. Health, transportation, recreation, community, environmental, and safety interests all benefit by partnering to implement Sunday Parkways.
