The City of Columbia’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) is excited to announce that Open Streets Columbia will celebrate its fourth year in Columbia, in collaboration with the Earlewood Community Citizens Organization (ECCO), the Elmwood Park Neighborhood Association, and the North Main Business Association.
Please join us on Sunday, May 1, 2022, from 2-5pm! Open Streets initiatives temporarily close streets to automobile traffic so that people may use the street for walking, bicycling, playing, and meeting neighbors. Open Streets Columbia is a special celebration of sustainable transportation, physical fitness and wellness, and civic pride – just in time for Bike Month, too! Open Streets is more than a festival — it’s a street transformation. Bring your family and friends!
