About
Accessability
Programming
The Open Streets Program has been an opportunity for connection during COVID and beyond. Our street’s closure presents an opportunity for connection, community, and shared experience while kids play and neighbors chat and relax in an informal, car-free environment.
The DHS Block Association is looking to improve our Open Streets Program this year. Our block has been closed to cars on Saturdays for the past two summers to offer a space for block residents to gather, play and connect. This year, we are looking to make this regular community event even better by staffing the happening with an Operations Manager. The Operations Manager will oversee block beautification, offer ease of access for all residents, and support kids’ activities.
Saturdays
June 24 - September 30, 2023
12:00 - 8:00 PM
For the 2023 season, we have new clearer signage to accompany the street closure barriers that explicitly list access rules alongside an access number to call for any individuals needing assistance moving the closure barriers.

The Open Streets Committee will collect information from residents to best select programming for the community.
The Open Streets Committee will purchase and distribute sports equipment, block beautification elements (such as flowers, tree pit fences, planters) to interested residents.
