Alberta Street Promenade
A street fair all day, every day
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is this needed?
Is this something the community wants?
The community consists of tens of thousands of people—each with their own hopes, dreams, and desires. With this mind, there isn't one unanimous consensus about how the street will look—nor will there ever be. However, car-free streets have proven to be tremendously popular around the world, from Los Angeles to Barcelona. We think Portlanders will instantly fall in love with how pleasant these new streets will be.
Where will people park?
If you choose to drive, you may need to walk a block or two to your destination, rather than being able to park right in front. We believe this is more than a wortwhile trradeoff for a street that is much more pleasant and accessible for all.
How will deliveries be made?
Shops and restaurants will be able to receive deliveries on adjacent side streets. This is how many businesses currently recieve deliveries, so not much will actually change.
Will emergency vehicles be able to get through?
Yes. The barriers will be moveable, which will allow them to drive their vehicles through if necessary.
