What about cross streets? Will car traffic be able to access one side to the other of Lindell or Locust Streets during this Open Street period?
ReplyDeleteThe City is still working out details, but the short answer is: Yes. A subset of cross streets will be open to accommodate folks that need to get about the City by car. Major cross streets, such as Grand, will of course remain open for vehicle traffic. The bikers, runners, walkers will have to behave like any road user and wait until the signal turns green. Because of the cross traffic, Open Streets should have less impact on the City than the major events/races that do not allow cross traffic. Stay tuned for more information...
