Information

The Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) is developing a permanent program for the emerging public street plaza program. Street plazas give right-of-way space back to pedestrians. They also provide space for more outdoor seating, events, and programming open to the public.

Building on the Healthy Businesses Permitting Program, Street Plazas emerged as a program to provided critical, urgently needed outdoor space for business use and community gatherings. To build on this popular program, PBOT is developing a Street Plaza Program to support the ongoing establishment, management and stewardship of street plaza spaces.
