Hi all, I was featured in a guest post today on the green travel website, Go Green Travel Green!
In this article, I wrote about my exciting discovery of ciclovias, or “open street” events where cities around the world close off major streets to automobile traffic to create makeshift parks and open spaces! Read more…
Berkeley is doing its first one this Sunday! http://www.sundaystreetsberkeley.com/
I know, I just read about that! What timing! Are you going? I would love to come up, but I don’t think I will be able. I have a fundraiser down here I’ve committed to. But definitely next time, I just liked them on FB to be notified of future events!
No, unfortunately, I have to do some furniture shopping with my mom for her new place. But, I hope I can get to the next one!
It’s crazy that places like South America are more focused on things like “open streets” than here in the US… DC is a walkable city and tons of people bike. There isn’t too much community related activities going though. I know that people are trying to get people more involved; but DC is so transient, it’s hard to get people together.
That’s an interesting observation, that DC more than other US cities would be hard to organize something like this! Those capitol wonks can’t take a morning off to ride their bike? 🙂
Thanks for the great post, Cassie! I love the concept of Open Streets events.
I do too, Thanks for the opportunity to share it!
