TRAFFIC CALMING PROJECT FUNDRAISING PAGE
September 12 | Open Streets Macon: Ocmulgee Heritage Trail + Boulevard
Open Streets Macon returns on September 12th to transform Boulevard from the Ocmulgee Heritage Trail to Clinton Rd. Donate to help us create a more bikeable, walkable Boulevard and improve connectivity to the Ocmulgee Heritage Trail.
Organized by Bike Walk Macon, Open Streets Macon is a car-free celebration of public space; bringing people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds together to walk, skate, bike, play, and re- imagine how we use our public streets.
On Sunday, September 12, from 2 pm to 6 pm, stretches of Shirley Hills and North Highland neighborhood streets will be closed to motorized traffic (except for intersections where cars will be free to cross). There is no registration, and Open Streets Macon is free and open to the public. In addition to activating the street, we will also install permanent and creative traffic calming interventions that will improve access and safety for pedestrians and bicyclists. These installations can include crosswalks, bike lanes, bike racks, seating, lighting improvements, and more! The interventions will be determined by the residents of the neighborhoods and funded by your donations.
