Hyannis Open Streets

Hyannis Main St May 21, 12:00pm – 4:00pm

Come play in the street AND pick up some free books. The Hyannis Open Streets committee could really use some volunteer help for shifts in the “Kids Zone” on the Hyannis Village Green. Visit their site for more information!

Open streets initiatives temporarily close streets to automobile traffic, so that people may use them for walking, bicycling, dancing, playing, and socializing. This opportunity promotes community interaction, social involvement, and a fun time without having to stare at a screen.

With more than 100 documented initiatives in North America, open streets are increasingly common in cities seeking innovative ways to achieve environmental, social, economic, and public health goals.
