Sunday, June 30, Broad Street from Thurbers Avenue to Prairie Avenue will be closed to vehicular traffic with the street opened to people to use as a temporary bike park. Several organizations will be present with activities for the family.
Cyclovía is a car-free event that opens Providence streets to people so that they can walk, skate, run, bicycle, exercise, and socialize. The events are free, open to the public and fun for people of all ages.
