The PORTLAND IN THE STREETS PROGRAM goals are to:

1. Reduce barriers for community-led placemaking projects;
2. Ensure citywide access to programs and equitable geographic distribution of placemaking projects;
3. Encourage placemaking projects that reflect community needs and character; and
4. Encourage experimentation and innovation.

Each Portland in the Streets program area follows one or more of the following criteria:

• Develop space for community gathering;
• Promote healthy and active lifestyles;
• Build community identity;
• Re-imagines the potential for city streets;
• Activate underutilized spaces;
• Celebrate and interact with neighbors; and
• Generates local business activity.
