A moment from #OpenStreetsDC. Cars have disappeared from three miles of Georgia Avenue. This is the first time DDOT DC has tried this... and has an eye on expanding this experiment. Open Streets DC WABA Director of the DC Dept of Transportation (Parody) Mayor Muriel Bowser #VisionZero

#DCsBravest “Sparky” greets folks at Open Streets DC. He is our ambassador for fire safety, and this is Fire Prevention Week. Do you have working smoke alarms? Test them regularly? How about a home fire safety and escape plan?
At Open Streets DC we saw in Georgia Avenue: joggers, bikers, walkers, parents with strollers, kids on bikes and scooters, a spin class, musicians, skateboarders, a bike repair shop, e-scooter test rides, and tons of other better uses for this space than devoting it to cars.
Open Streets DC this was extraordinary. Amazing. To bike outside our house and have no cars for three miles on the main road that divides up our neighborhood—wow. We saw all our neighbors. All the music and festivities was a bonus! We couldn’t stop smiling! #bikedc
So Open Streets DC was supposed to end at 2 p.m. and nobody seems to be leaving the streets. Might have to do this more than once a year. #OpenStreetsDC
