Hoof it, bike it, skate it or stroll through it on stilts if that's your thing. As long as you're not traveling by motorized vehicle, you're good to go on 20 blocks of Lyndale Avenue South this Sunday.

The event is inspired by Ciclovia, Bogota Colombia's 35-year-old tradition of weekly car-free events where pedestrians take over the streets and public performances are given. From 10 a.m. - 2 p.m., Sunday, Lyndale Avenue between 22nd Street and 42nd Street will swap car tires and exhaust for bike tires and flip flops. This free event offers a safe and healthy opportunity for neighbors to engage with local businesses and each other.

Minneapolis spokesperson Matt Lindstrom said the logistics of closing off a large section of Lyndale Avenue for Open Streets are similar to what would need to be done for a parade–and that the necessary work for the event is something the city finds value in. "The City is a huge proponent of biking and walking. This fit within our city goals," Lindstrom said.
