"closing down streets" in the headline feels like some pro-car propaganda. The streets are actually more open now: you can walk or cycle anywhere you want, without being threatened by 2-ton steel boxes going at terrifying speeds with poorly trained humans in control, which we somehow decided everyone should use to get around.

Honestly it’s a great opportunity to help build that community, social skills, and cleaner environment for kids who shouldN’T be inside on an iPad.. Sending Positive vibes****

Back in my day, we closed the road, not the city LOL
