Upcoming plaza events.
Welcome! Come rest, play, notice, create, listen, watch, engage. Join us in the celebration of life existing in the street and help transform this once-dangerous intersection into something safer and healthier for our future. This is a dreaming process and we encourage feedback and creative solutions.
Depave will be closing the street at the future 7th and Sandy project site from August 9 - September 19 to demonstrate the future project design, solicit feedback and design ideas, and create an opportunity for positive activation.
Join us, for an event in the plaza!

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Urban Planning Bike Ride
Join Sunrise PDX, Community Cycling Center, and Depave to experience some of the best and the worst bicycling infrastructure in Portland alongside our elected officials and city planners! We will bike a small loop as a group and will prioritize safety above all else. During the ride, we will take short breaks to highlight and discuss the amazing and not-so-great infrastructure we are biking through. We will also have a break at the end to discuss visions of change in Portland, and how to make our dreams reality.
Feel free to arrive before 6:30 to join the Urbanist Happy Hour happening on Ankeny Rainbow Road!
Need a free bike to ride for this event? If you or anyone in your network wants to join but doesn’t have a bike, the Community Cycling Center is offering free bike rentals for this ride, and folks can reserve one here.
Community Cleanup
Join Depave, SOLVE, and the Central Eastside Industrial Council for a community cleanup day! We will be cleaning the streets and giving some love to the neighborhood! Coffee, snacks, and lunch provided!
