Briefly a 6 mile route of non-primary streets will be closed off to motor traffic, and a temporary 6 mile 'circular park' will be created. at various venues, ( Penninsula and Arbor Lodge parks, among others.) and other venues will be hosting a huge community event. ride your bike, walk, rollerblade, skateboards..anything human powered. check out the link and you will find that this is a seriously huge communtiy event, and even we sophisticated, erudite urbanites can appreciate its possibilities.
