San Francisco Does Sunday Streets

Get the Flash Player to see this player.

For two glorious Sundays, San Francisco closed streets along a stretch of its waterfront to cars – and opened them to humanity. A second "Sunday Streets San Francisco" event on September 14th reprised an August 31st street party, both of which saw thousands of people come out to run, skate, cycle, dance, or stroll their way through a cityscape transformed. Organizers styled the event of Bogata's
Ciclovia,
as San Francisco became the latest U.S. city to participate in a growing movement to liberate urban space from automobiles.

    Very nicely done! I just wish I could have been there to run the bases of the stadium and I am not even a baseball fan. Looked like alot of fun.

    Thank you Clarance and John for a great Streetfilm. Sunday Streets SF was very fun and we hope to do it again in the spring if not earlier. It was a good opportunity to show people what our city could look like with less car traffic.

    I was at Sunday Streets 2 weeks ago and thought it was great. I loved being able to ride in a car free zone, enjoyed getting off my bike and participating in some of the many activities offered. Great job by all the people involved.

    Nice job San Francisco! It looked like the weather gods were smiling and it was a great day. There were alot of new and creative activities that I haven't seen before. Next year there should be an explosion of Ciclovia-type events all across the US!
