What is Sunday Streets?Sunday Streets (also called "Open Streets") closes streets to automobile traffic for a day so that people may use the space for other physical and social activities. The streets become parks as people replace car traffic. People walk, bike, skate and dance and play. Everyone from businesses and community organizations to musicians and artists use the space creatively, engaging the public and providing spontaneity and discovery.People get out and connect with their community and urban environment in a transformative way. This temporary public space inspires creativity and change for the better, on that day – and beyond.
