The Livable Streets Strategy was adopted unanimously by the Portland City Council on October 25, 2017 - PBOT prioritizes people by encouraging the use of the right-of-way for community gathering spaces, placemaking and programming. 

Portland in the Streets encourages people to get creative and re-imagine their streets, parking spaces, plazas, and alleys as places to enjoy and engage the surrounding community. Portland in the Streets includes, block parties, street paintings, play streets, street fairs, street seats, pedestrian plazas and so much more!! Check out Portland in the Streets to see some examples in action.
