Open Streets: Corridors Connect – A Day of Car(e) Free Streets

Corridors Connect is for everyone! Car-free streets, if only for the afternoon, give us all an opportunity to enjoy the connectivity that roads provide, but in a more healthful, carefree, and social atmosphere.

Corridors Connect is a new series of six events spread over three Sundays in October 2023. The event series features shorter routes – and more of them – for even more opportunities to discover and connect. The “Corridors Connect” brand borrows from the Corridors of Opportunity focus areas that will host all six routes.

See the fun in real time in this video from Open Streets 2019.
