A coalition of business and civic groups is asking Caltrans for permission to hold a one-day"open streets" event on State Route 163 that would invite people to walk and bike in an otherwise off-limits section of Balboa Park., a regular San Diego event when streets are closed off to cars, opened for pedestrians and cyclists and activated with food vendors, art installations, music and activities.
"Programs like Park-Way for a Day that enhance the pedestrian and biking experiences through activations like art installations, music and entertainment are critical to further strengthening that connection," Brennan said. "These such events require an immense amount of planning and coordination to account for maintenance needs, traffic management, and the benefits and accessibility for communities," Welborn said.
