Background
In summer and fall 2020, the program provided desperately needed economic relief to more than twenty neighborhood restaurants, helped keep restaurant workers employed, and created a space for residents and visitors alike to share an afternoon or evening together in a safe way.

The program has operated each year since, from spring to fall, with improvements to barriers, clearer demarcation of bicycle lanes, increased programming, and paid staff to operate the Open Street.
