What a beautiful story! Having spent a bunch of time this weekend visiting different Open Streets/carfree blocks, seeing this newsletter about School Streets was right on time. It really is incredible the way closing a street to car traffic will "unleash the community" as you noted. And it's disorienting and sad to quickly flip back to car mode after being in the joyful calm and community of a street without them. Excited to share this article with my newsletter subscribers and encourage them to ask for more School Streets in their neighborhoods too.
Huge credit to the Bache-Martin parents for making this happen. It should not be this hard, but it is! Thanks for being the best neighbors.
Thank you so much for your leadership, Brian!
