Open Streets Buffalo

The community is hosting its first Open Streets event. The event is being organized by Buffalo Community Education, Buffalo Parks & Recreation and Live Wright, with financial and technical support from the Center for Prevention at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota (Blue Cross), through an initiative to support "open streets" event across the state. The event is open to all area residents, including those who aren't regularly physically active, to socialize with their neighbors, have fun and shop in a safe, car-free environment. The events also are designed to visibly demonstrate how important it is to make active modes of transportation easy to choose and readily accessible to all.
