City of Open Streets

The City of Open Streets is a community initiative that temporarily closes certain streets to vehicle traffic, opening them up for pedestrians, cyclists, and outdoor activities. This approach promotes active transportation, social engagement, and local economic activity, while enhancing safety and connectivity within neighborhoods. Usually organized periodically, these events transform urban spaces into lively, accessible areas where residents can enjoy walking, skating, or mingling without the interference of cars. Open Streets encourage healthier lifestyles and strengthen community bonds by making streets more inclusive and welcoming for everyone.
