With the famed commercial avenue closed off to car traffic, the city wants residents and visitors alike to shop and dine at local businesses and enjoy a sense of community.
Newbury Street in Boston's Back Bay neighborhood will be pedestrian-only on six upcoming Sundays, as Mayor Michelle Wu and the city's transportation department announce the return of the Open Newbury Street series.
The event will begin on Aug. 21, and will continue every Sunday through Sept. 25. On Open Newbury Street Sundays, traffic will be closed to cars from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. from Berkeley Street to Massachusetts Avenue. Parking will also be restricted on Newbury along with adjacent streets, with enforcement starting at 5 a.m. Signs will alert drives to the changes.
"Open Newbury Street has become a treasured tradition for Boston residents, showing how we can celebrate community in public spaces," Mayor Michelle Wu said in a news release Friday."Expanding Open Newbury to a weekly event and into the fall means returning college students and new residents will be able to join in on the fun. I want to thank BTD and our public safety officials for making this expansion a reality.
