From Bike Walk Macon- Open Streets Macon returned with a new route on Houston Avenue on Sunday

Macon, GA – According to the city officials, Bike Walk Macon is enthusiastic to partner with Macon-Bibb County District 2 Community Family and Commissioner Paul Bronson to bring this important community initiative to a new neighborhood to promote safe and car-free transportation, healthy outdoor activity, and community engagement using our city streets.

Open Streets Macon was inspired by a world-class program proven to positively impact healthy behavior by repurposing existing public streets and providing access to free recreation space.

All Maconites were invited to the first 2023 route this Sunday where four-blocks of street will be closed to drivers and open for pedestrians to engage with neighbors and friends, and support small business participants.

More than 30 local organizations and businesses offered free, engaging experiences along the route.
