Sponsors at the Fun Level or higher host activities in the parks. It’s a great opportunity for people to connect and engage with your business and/or community group! Smaller street-side spaces are available along the route for a small fee. Neighbors who live along the event route may host a street-side activity for free.

Neighborhood Bikeways (and Healthy Street features)
Neighborhood Bikeways can include Healthy Street features to enhance community livability by blending elements of a safe, multi-modal transportation route with environmentally friendly street treatments, such as bioswales. In 2017, 11th Street was chosen as a demonstration site because of its residential character, use as a link between three public schools and Oregon State University, and its proximity to Dixon Creek.
