Imagine, a Car-Free Sunday in Hillsdale!
I'm investigating what it would take to close a block of SW Capitol Highway in Hillsdale to vehicular traffic on Sunday, July 25, 2010.
Note: that's 13 months from now, the date of next year's Hillsdale Pancake Breakfast and Hillsdale Community Foundation Book Sale. I envision moving the Hillsdale Farmers' Market to the middle of the road.
Imagine that!
We'd divert westbound traffic up Sunset to Dosch and on its merry way to Raleigh Hills on Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway or on up 30th to Multnomah Village. Reverse it coming east.
I've written about the idea in the current issue of the Hillsdale News in the commentary section.
Now my friend Daniel Ronan has alerted me to the Portland Bureau of Transportation's support for street closures (actually closures of streets in entire neighborhoods). Go here to find out more.
This could be easier than I thought. I'm already getting support from people who've done this elsewhere.
Your thoughts?
