 Hello, Columbia. My name is Christina Gallardi and I am a co-chair of the city's Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee, also known as BPAC, and we're very excited to welcome you to our third Open Streets event to be held on Main Street in the 13 and 1400 blocks in partnership with Soda City on Saturday, April 20th from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The past two years we hosted it on Divine Street and this year we're bringing it to Main Street in partnership with Soda City. Our main themes of the event have not changed. We're still highlighting sustainable transportation, physical fitness and wellness, and also civic pride. And it's a very community activity, family-friendly oriented event, less focused on sales, although you can certainly enjoy buying some great food down at Soda City. We feature businesses and community organizations that want to share activities with the community based on those themes and we're excited to welcome back some organizations that have joined us in the past as well as some new ones. And this is a great opportunity for you to walk, bike, or take the comet downtown to participate in some fun activities and learn more about opportunities to walk, bike, and be active in the city. We're having the eBike Central organization share test demo rides with their eBikes as well as the Blue Bike Bike Share will be helping demonstrate how to use the bike share station at Washington and Lady. So if you haven't tried it out, this is a great opportunity to get a little help on how to check out the bikes and what it feels like to ride them. We're also welcoming Adventure Children's Museum to do some activities with physical fitness and wellness. We'll actually have a yoga class in the middle of the street as well as martial arts demonstrations. So you might travel down Main Street pretty frequently, maybe even walk on the sidewalk, but today will be a day Open Streets will be a day when we close the street and you get to experience it and take it over for community activity in a different way from a festival or the so-to-city experience. So we're really excited to bring that to Main Street. Open Streets is free and open to the public. Come and enjoy the variety of activities that we have. For more information about the event, visit OpenStreetsColumbia.com. We'll have an event map as well as more information about all the activities that will be offered. We really encourage you to walk or bike or take the comet to the location since we're promoting sustainable transportation or there will be parking along Assembly Street if you want to park there and walk and join us. But if your neighborhood is interested in hosting an Open Streets, perhaps in connection with a block party or biannual meeting, BPAC is happy to help you think about a way to bring Open Streets to your neighborhood and focus on walking, biking, getting your neighborhood out, allowing other people to come and experience your neighborhood and just really focus on that family-friendly atmosphere by closing down a street and having some activity for the day. So please feel free to reach out to us via our Facebook page and we're glad to help out. We've developed a handbook about how to bring Open Streets to different areas of Colombia based on our experience. Please find us on Facebook under the Bike and Pedestrian Advisory Committee, parentheses, BPAC.
