Enroll Every Public School in Open Streets

Overview

• • The city would automatically enroll every public school in the Open Streets for schools program, replacing the current system that requires schools to apply for participation.

• • Open Streets temporarily close streets to most vehicle traffic during school drop-off and pick-up hours, creating safer, cleaner spaces for students, families, and school staff.

• • The proposal would increase annual Open Streets funding from about $4 million to $20 million to provide operational support and programming so every school can maintain a car-free street during arrival and dismissal times.
