Avondale Estates Will Close Streets For April 29 'Sunday Ride'

Avondale Estates plans to transform four miles of city streets into "one vast park" from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, April 29, for the second annual Avondale Estates Sunday Ride.

Organizers say "events like Sunday Ride are known as Ciclovia or 'open streets initiative.'  It is similar to events all over the world including Portland Oregon’s Sunday Parkways after which our event is modeled."

You don't have to ride a bike. You can also walk, jog, skate or use any other form of muscle-powered transportation. The streets will be closed to cars, except for residents who need to get in and out of their residences.

The map for the Sunday ride can be found on the Sunday Ride website.
