Summer Parkways is back but it's different this year.

They will be be expanding it to include three different neighborhoods, including their first night-time event:

Wednesday, June 22, 6-9 PM- Comstock/Manito Neighborhood (map)

Sunday, July 24, 10AM-2PM- North Hill Neighborhood (map)

Sunday, August 14, 10 AM-2PM- Northwest Neighborhood (map)

In case you missed it, Summer Parkways involves the closure of streets to vehicular traffic for a portion of a Sunday in favor of walking, bicycling, rolling, and other non-motorized forms of transportation. It connects neighborhoods and people: walkers, runners, bikers, seniors, adults, and children can enjoy car-free streets filled with a variety of activities along the route.

The idea is based off ciclovías – Spanish for “cycle way” or “bike path”- an event in Bogotá, Columbia where 70 miles of streets close for automobiles and open for people powered transit on Sundays from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Check out the Summer Parkways site to help out. I volunteered last year and it was a wonderful event. Also, check  the below clip for information about vendors and exhibitors.
