SUMMARY:Live Freeways: Final Alignment
CONTACT:Bureau of John Russell
DESCRIPTION:You’ve heard of the Dead Freeways Ride exploring the Portland 
 freeways we’ve never built or removed entirely\, but what about all the 
 freeways that did get built? Did you know that the majority of Portland-
 area freeways are legally open to bikes and non-motorized vehicles? Did 
 you know that you can legally bike onto the freeway in Portland and bike 
 all of the way to Oregon City (or even Medford) before having to 
 exit?\n\nA representative from the Bureau of John Russell will be on hand 
 to familiarize everyone with the intricacies of OAR 734-20-0045: 
 Prohibition of Non-Motorized Vehicles on Freeways. He’ll show you the 
 ropes\, having ridden every mile of freeway in Western Oregon himself. 
 Since the original route in 2019\, the Bureau of John Russell has led Live
  Freeways on a group ride of every segment of freeway open to bikes in the
  Portland metro area!\n\nMeet at 11\, ride at 11:30 AM. We’ll be starting 
 in SW Portland at the Goose Hollow MAX Station (SW 18th & Jefferson). For 
 the main portion of the ride\, we’ll climb over the West Hills on US 26 
 before getting to ride the entire length of the newly widened OR 217. 
 We’ll continue onto I-5 on the widest segment of freeway in all of Oregon 
 before taking a more scenic route via the comparatively bucolic I-205 
 where we can stop for lunch in Oregon City. From there\, enjoy an optional
  return route of under 20 miles back to Portland mostly via Expressways\, 
 hopefully in time for Bike Play (Oregon Park @ 6:45 PM).\n\nIn total\, the
  ride will be under 50 miles. While the route is not guaranteed to loop\, 
 we will connect to the TriMet on each end\, so please bring appropriate 
 fare unless you want to bike the whole way home. \n\nPlease RSVP if 
 possible: https://www.facebook.com/events/2145896042589896/\n\nCome have 
 fun and ride the roads you never thought you could!\n\nTime and details 
 subject to change.\n\n\n\nText and explanation of OAR 734-20-
