Open Streets - W. 4th Street

  • W. 4th Street between Broom and Lincoln Streets (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Welcome to YOUR streets!

Open Streets Wilmington events take place monthly, closing busy streets to motor vehicles for the afternoon and OPENING them to people. The events transform high traffic streets into safe community spaces for people of all ages and abilities to get outside, connect, exercise, and play. They raise awareness of unsafe streets that aren’t meeting the needs of local residents and help community members reimagine what their streets could look like.

Open Streets Wilmington is a collaborative initiative of Urban Bike Project, West Side Grows Together, Partnership for Delaware Estuary, Jefferson Street Center, and the Open Streets Wilmington steering committee.
