Remember how eerily quiet some of our streets were during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic? In May 2020, the city aimed to enliven them with the Healthy Streets initiative, encouraging outdoor recreation with traffic-calming devices to maximize safety for walking and biking. That evolved to the Living Streets program in 2021, which allows communities to reserve streets for play and non-motorized vehicles. Learn more at this event by Ghisallo Cycling Initiative, who’ll host a block party with a roller disco, BMX demos, marching band music, and more to celebrate everything human-powered transportation in an area with half a mile of Living Streets. – Kat McNevins
