The document outlines plans for an "Open Streets Windsor" event that will close 8 km of streets to vehicles on two Sundays in July and September 2016. The goals are to encourage active transportation and community activities, showcase streetscape improvements, promote local businesses, and get public input on complete streets. The closed streets will feature activity hubs every 1 km providing programming, and will highlight recent street improvements and transportation options.
