Experience Pittsburgh from a new perspective! Open Streets PGH closes streets and lets you explore areas from a different view. The streets are open to bike, walk and run–you don’t have to worry about any cars! When does that ever happen?! Enjoy the scenery and support local businesses at the same time!
Explore the city—the route includes Birmingham Bridge, Southside, 10th St Bridge, and Armstrong Tunnel. The event is from 9am-1pm! Click here for the official route!
Make sure to stop at the hubs! Check out free fitness classes with the YMCA of Greater Pittsburgh, along with BikePGH Kids learn-to-ride activities. It doesn’t matter if you walk or bike, there’s something for everyone–streets will be filled with live performances, giant board games, local food and shops.
According to OpenStreetsPGH.org, the event helps people see their streets in a more personal way. “OpenStreetsPGH temporarily closes streets and invites Pittsburghers to reimagine their streets as places for people, not just cars.”
Stroll through the streets, it’s all yours! The event makes for some unique summer fun. “This free event series connects communities to each other and creates a safe place for people of all ages to walk, bike, roll, and dance through 11 neighborhoods in 2019.”
This is the last Open Streets event for 2019– don’t miss out! The event series is organized by BikePGH.
