Open Streets

Need something else?

The Open Streets program closes streets to vehicle traffic to make it safer and easier for pedestrians and cyclists to stay active and enjoy activities in their community. 100 miles of car-free streets will eventually be opened.

Open Streets are closed to vehicles daily from 8 AM to 8 PM unless otherwise noted.

Apply to manage a new or current Open Street.

No through traffic is allowed when Open Streets are in effect.

Vehicle traffic is limited only to:

Local deliveries
Pick-ups and drop-offs
Necessary City service vehicles, utility vehicles, and emergency vehicles

Alternate Side Parking

When Alternate Side Parking is in effect on an Open Street, vehicles should leave the street and may return after ASP is over.

If barriers are in place, they should be set up in a way that cars can drive around them.

While driving in and out of the street, please watch for pedestrians and travel at 5 MPH.

You can ask questions, provide feedback, and report issues with Open Streets, including missing barriers, by contacting the Department of Transportation (DOT).
