Open Streets Minneapolis allows residents to have the opportunity to explore and enjoy their neighborhood streets by biking, walking, and skating without the presence of motorized traffic.

An Open Streets event (based on the Ciclovía from Bogotá, Colombia) brings together families and neighbors to mingle, recreate, and shop in their communities in a safe, car-free environment. 

Open Streets events are not races.  Participants can begin/stop/restart/change direction at any time.

Open Streets events are free!

In addition to biking, walking and skating, there are programmed recreational activities along the streets including yoga, dancing, and games.  There are also musical performances and classes on bike safety and repair.

Open Streets events promote:

• Sustainable transportation choices, including walking, bicycling and transit.
• Public health, bringing healthy physical activity to different communities.
• Local business, drawing foot traffic past the front doors.
• Public space, helping residents see our streets as places where we can all come together and take pride in our city.
