Play Streets Policy Guide

The Play Streets Policy Guide provides a framework for communities to temporarily or regularly close streets to vehicle traffic, creating safe, accessible spaces for residents to walk, bike, and play. Its goal is to promote community activity, physical health, and social interaction while reducing traffic congestion and pollution. The guide offers best practices for planning, implementation, and management of these street closures, ensuring they are safe, equitable, and supported by local residents. By converting streets into community hubs, Play Streets enhance neighborhood livability and encourage active, connected communities.
