SUMMARY:Pre-Celebration Greenway Ride! w/ No More Freeways & Sunrise PDX 
 Youth v ODOT
CONTACT:Ashwin Datta / Sunrise PDX
DESCRIPTION:Refreshments & Event to Follow!\nOn the final day of another 
 fantastic Pedalpalooza Bike Summer\, join us in Laurelhurst Park on the 
 evening of Thursday August 31st to celebrate the recent curtailment of 
 notable freeway expansion projects (I-5 Rose Quarter & I-205)\, which 
 would have further clogged our city with traffic\, endangered 
 cyclists/pedestrians and polluted our planet.\n\nBut first\, let's enjoy a
  leisurely ride\, entirely on a few of Portland's Neighborhood 
 Greenways!\n\nNeighborhood Greenways are quieter streets in Portland where
  cyclists and pedestrians are prioritized with much fewer cars at lower 
 speeds and increased pedestrian and cycling infrastructure\, so you can 
 expect this mostly-flat\, 5-mile loop-ride to be less stress and more 
 fun!\n\nConvene at the north shore of Firwood Lake in Laurelhurst Park at 
 4:15 PM and ride at 4:45 PM. The ride ends at Picnic Area A in the SW 
 corner of Laurelhurst Park at 5:30 PM\, where Sunrise PDX and No More 
 Freeways are co-hosting a celebration of this important victory in the 
 fight against car-dependency and the climate crisis (and celebrating NMF's
  6th birthday!). Enjoy birthday cake & light refreshments\, hear from 
 local leaders and activists on the effort to promote safe\, equitable and 
 low-carbon transportation\, and learn how you can get involved!\n\nSunrise
  PDX is our local hub of a youth-led (35 & under) nationwide climate 
 justice activism organization. We are a movement of young people working 
 to stop climate change and create millions of good jobs in the process. We
  are fighting for a Green New Deal at the local\, state\, and federal 
 levels that addresses injustice and inequity while also fighting the 
 climate crisis. Our upcoming campaign is transportation-focused and we 
 would love to hear from you about issues you face around 
 transportation!\n\nNo More Freeways was founded in 2017 in response to the
  passage of legislation funding massive freeway expansions around the 
 Portland Metro region. We are an all-volunteer\, community-funded 501c(3) 
 organization working to oppose freeway expansions within Portland’s urban 
 growth boundary. Our work has been featured in Willamette Week\, the 
 Oregonian\, CityLab\, VICE\, and the New York Times.\nMeet 4:15 PM\, ride 
 at 4:45 PM\nEnds at Sunrise PDX YVO/NMF Celebration Event - Picnic Area
