Open Streets Project

The Open Streets Project temporarily closes streets to vehicle traffic, creating safe, accessible spaces for pedestrians, cyclists, and community activities. Aimed at promoting public health, transportation equity, and community engagement, it encourages outdoor recreation and social interaction. These events often feature street closures for a day or weekend, allowing residents to walk, bike, or gather without the usual traffic. Open Streets initiatives help reduce pollution, support local businesses, and foster a sense of community by transforming urban streets into vibrant, car-free environments.
