Sunday Parkways is a day when the city opens a loop of streets so people may freely spend the day walking, skateboarding, rollerblading, wheelchairing, biking and strolling along.   Though there won’t be a Sunday Parkways coming through Woodlawn, it will pass right near us along Ainsworth and we have been encouraged to get involved.  Below is a note from one of the coordinators:
I wanted to invite you and any of your interested neighborhood residents to our brainstorming cafe.  Vernon neighborhood is hosting a Sunday Parkways Cafe on Saturday, March 21st, 9-11 am, at the Redeemer Lutheran Church (5431 NE 20th @Killingsworth). We would love for you to help us brainstorm ideas for activities in the parks and along the route, music, food vendors and anything else that would make this a great event.

The Northeast Portland route will link Alberta, Fernhill and Wilshire Parks. The date of the actual event is July 19th, 9am – 4pm. We will be sending out an invitation to register as a volunteer as the event gets closer – we need about 400 people!

Hope to see you on March 21st. Please feel free to pass this email along.
Cheers,
