Temporarily closing residential streets to allow kids to play and socialise safely outside has proved beneficial for both children and adults.
We have similar events in Los Angeles called CicLAvia, they’re wonderful! I hope these become the norm everywhere.
I’d appreciate it more if they’d do something similar to a lot of cities, and convert streets to invite public interactions.
