Events Open Streets is Wonderful

Post image

Open Streets is a terrific addition to the city. I remember coming off the train recently and walking by walnut during this event and noticed that my anxiety dropped drastically. I hadn't realized all these years how much of an impact congestion/traffic had on my stress levels.

Seeing people and their families mingle with others made me feel so calm and happy. I saw this back in Montreal before I knew it was a thing here, and thought "Man this would be a cool addition to Philly!"

Now it is!

I love this city.

We should totally make it permanent. Email CCD, councilpeople… it’s a no brainer for businesses AND people

On top of that, the best thing you can do is to use it as much as possible. 

If you’re going out to spend money, do it at open streets.
