Jamaica Plain was a pedestrian paradise on Sunday, as greater than 1 mile of Centre Street shut down for the launch of Open Streets Boston.
The metropolis closed 1.2 miles of the main highway to motorized vehicle visitors, because the JP avenue was remodeled to a website of family-friendly occasions, stay artwork, music, meals vehicles and extra.
“When streets are for people, the people come out!” Mayor Michelle Wu tweeted. “Thanks to all who worked so hard for today’s 1st #OpenStreetsBoston on Centre — see you next month on Blue Hill Ave.”
The Blue Hill Avenue Open Streets Boston day can be on Aug. 6 between Warren Street and Dudley Street.
The third Open Streets Boston day can be on Sept. 24 alongside Dorchester Avenue, between Freeport Street and Gallivan Boulevard.
