**The 2020 Rose Festival Moratorium has been postponed due to COVID-19. New dates are unknown at this time.**

Due to increased activity in the city’s major retail districts during the holiday season, specific areas and streets have restricted use. Portland's Bureau of Transportation implements a moratorium on use of the public right-of way to support the Holiday Season & Rose Festival.   

 Areas affected by the Moratorium:

• Holiday Moratorium Map - in effect November 21, 2019 through January 2, 2020. Click here for an info letter.
• Rose Festival Moratorium Map - The 2020 Rose Festival Moratorium has been postponed due to COVID-19. New dates are unknown at this time.

If there are emergency circumstances, you may be considered for an exemption based on verifiable need for work in the public right of way. To apply for an Exemption, follow these steps:

• Fill out the Moratorium Appeal Form. 
• After submitting your Moratorium Appeal request, it will be reviewed and a response will be provided. If approved, the Permit Center will process the request as per normal protocol.

Please Note:

- Work performed between the hours of 10pm-6am does not require an appeal and is exempt from the moratorium restrictions.
