should have plenty to celebrate. The sun will make its annual guest appearance in our oft-soggy skies, any adult who wants a COVID-19 vaccine will be able to get one, andâso farâweâve made it through 18 months of this pandemic without overflowing our hospitals and with per capita case count rates that are the envy of 48 other states, though we collectively mourn the more than 2,500 Oregonians whoâve died after contracting the virus. Â

The city’s transportation bureau announced it would reveal a “choose your own adventure” format under which interested riders can choose from free online activities and a “self-guided exploration outdoors.”
More details will be released May 1, officials said. The news that the leisurely outdoor group event is likely cancelled for this summer comes one day before Multnomah County is once again set to face restaurant closures and other stringent measures to extreme risk of COVID-19 spread.
Transportation officials had said April 14 that the event this year might have a look and feel similar to the Sunday Parkways “that Portland knows and loves.”
