Open Streets - Ward 5

Last Date:


Location: 
12th Street NE, between Michigan Ave NE and Franklin Street NE
Details: 

Open Streets is a global initiative that offers communities the opportunity to experience their streets in a whole new way. Open Streets events temporarily close roadways to vehicles to provide safe spaces for walking, biking, skating, and other social activities. Open Streets events help users reimagine public space to prioritize people over cars, provide easy access to recreation and other health-oriented programming, and promote economic development by supporting local businesses. Open Streets DC is a mayoral community event in which over a mile of street lanes on 12th Street NE will be closed to cars and open the street for people to walk, bike, scoot, and play! Five activation zones along the route will host hourly programmed classes and demonstrations, including yoga, drum circles, double-dutch, traffic gardens, pop-up bike lanes, dancing, and more. Businesses along the route will also provide space for outdoor dining and retail. The event is free and suitable for all ages and abilities. DC Health Link trained assisters will be onsite to provide enrollment assistance and DC Health Link outreach teams will distribute information to hundreds of residents attending this event.
