Thank you for your interest in the Portland Bureau of Transportation's (PBOT) emerging Public Street Plaza program, where PBOT and community partners are working together to repurpose streets for public space for business and community uses.
In 2022, PBOT will once again collaborate to create street plazas and gathering spaces throughout the city. Street Plazas are places for people to gather, socialize, and celebrate, creating more places for community and neighbor interactions.
At the same time, PBOT is working to establish a long-term Public Street Plaza program. As PBOT works on what a long-term, permanent Public Street Plaza program looks like, we’d like to hear from the community about what worked from the previous pilot seasons and what you would like to see in long-term, post COVID program.
