The streets of Macon will leap to life as nearly 1.5 miles of Ash Street to Montpelier Ave. become a paved park. The stretches of street will be closed to motorized traffic (except for intersections where cars will be free to cross).
Organized by Bike Walk Macon, Open Streets Macon is a car-free celebration of public space; bringing people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds together to walk, skate, bike, play, and re-imagine how we use our public streets.
At Open Streets there are no finish lines, parades, or sidewalk sales and this is something that sets Open Streets apart from other events like marathons or street festivals. Open Streets can provide stimulus to local businesses, offer a setting for greater civic participation and integration, and build support for the provision of broader transportation choices.
Cities across the world have adopted Open Streets celebration and Macon is one of them! Take advantage of this amazing opportunity to experience the streets of Macon in ways you never have before.
The October 2019 route will transform the streets of Macon by closing stretches of Ash St. to Montpelier Ave. off to cars so that you are free to enjoy it in a brand new way. Grab your friends and family and get ready to activate our community streets with human-powered amusement!
