Clowns and very few cars on for Last Thursday
by shooter
Unfortunately I'm still recovering from a different time zone (Thailand) and didn't have the energy to go to Last Thursday . Fortunately, Jonathan over at BikePortland did and has great coverage of the unofficial street closure. According to Jonathan, the evening went really well, the police handled the situation with patience, and as the evening progressed drivers did the logical thing and avoided Alberta. I hope the success of this evening is a launching pad to continue closing the street for Last Thursday. It makes it so much more enjoyable for all those who attend, and is really only a minor inconvenience for drivers.

Cars and clowns on Alberta Street?
by shooter
This bit about Last Thursday was posted on the Merc's Blogtown . Someone blocked Alberta Street with a couple of junkers to make the event car free, until the junkers were towed. This time volunteers from the neighborhood association will encourage people to take an alternate route, if the drivers don't, then clowns on bicycles will escort them down the road.I like the idea and hope that it works. Last Thursday is very popular and crowded. Leaving the street free for people to roam would be a huge plus for the monthly event.
