Temo Takes On: Hamilton Open Streets 2023 Vlog

See as I Take On Hamilton Open Streets 2023!
On Sunday, June 18, 2023 from 10 am to 2 pm, King Street East was closed to vehicle traffic and opened for residents to walk, cycle, rollup and down the street. The street was transformed into additional public space with physical activity stations and other activities.
Open Streets are programs that temporarily open streets to people as additional public space, closing them to cars. These events typically have a family-friendly festival type atmosphere but are not organized as festivals. The first one was conducted in Bogota, Columbia in 1974. The Cyclovia (translated to “Cycle-way”) closed major streets to vehicular traffic on Sundays, and still runs today with 122 km of roadway included in the program. Hamilton has successfully run Open Streets-style events in the past, including on James St. North.
