Cities across the United States have developed programs to close streets to cars and turn them into pedestrian plazas. For example, LA’s People Street program was created by the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) in 2014. Closing off sections of underutilized streets and refocusing them as hubs for community activities has allowed the City of Los Angeles to expand their walkable spaces which were previously filled with vehicle traffic. Moreover, these pedestrian spaces provide vibrant places for people to interact. This video tours some notable pedestrian plazas from programs in New York, Boston, Seattle, and Atlanta.
