We are seeking information on the Baltimore Sunday Streets, to assist in the progression of Sunday Parkways in Chicago. We are also hopeful that we can put an event together, where a representative from each city that host these types of events, can come to, for the progression of us all. Currently we would like to know the following information: Lead Organization Point Person Types of Sponsors Date & Time of the Pilot Event Date & Tiem of the Next Event Route Description Any Special Notes about this event. Thanks in Advance for your help HiGreg,

Future Sundays will cost much less as police presence can be greatly reduced once we prove there is safety in numbers! We need a Happiness event more than ever.

It is fun and innovative ideas like this that all our cities need to embrace. Good job Baltimore! Hopefully one day my city, Milwaukee, will attempt something like this. Wow that is just great.

One of the unique aspects of Ciclovia/Sunday Streets is the connectivity with and between neighborhoods. To ensure that connection, the routes appear to work best going down residential and retailing streets and not on higher speed roadways that are isolated and unfriendly feeling even on the best days (Jones Falls Expressway and the Road to Nowhere...) The great thing about Sunday Streets is that it can still use parts of those roads if necessary. All our infrastructure is already here. No need for millions of dollars for what usually ends up becoming exclusive venues. Sunday Streets is fully inclusive, free, and dynamic in ways that will be fun to see unfold. Keep those great ideas coming as we make Sunday Streets a regular part of our lives! Thanks everyone for the comments!
