Popping-Up at Windward Circle!
POP-UP PLAZA – SEATING – BIKE LANES – GAMES
For one day only on Saturday, Safe Routes to School (SRTS) will temporarily transform Windward Circle in Venice to enhance pedestrian, bicyclist, and e-scooter safety and comfort. This pop-up will demonstrate how Venice can create new public spaces, safer streets, and cooler corridors that support the Green New Deal’s climate and mobility goals.
Time: 7:00 AM – 4:00 PM
The Pop-up Aims to:
- Create new public space and designated walkways to enhance pedestrian safety and comfort;
- Make the five-way intersection safer and more intuitive for all travelers;
- Connect existing infrastructure to create continuous facilities for people biking and using e-scooters; and
- Test new street design concepts before securing funding for permanent installation.
Key Features will Include:
- Pedestrian plazas with flexible seating, street trees, and pedestrian amenities
- Colorful curb extensions with shortened crosswalks
- Two-way non-motorized travel lane throughout the roundabout
- Channelized vehicle traffic with narrower travel lanes and yield signs
- Family-friendly games and activities with prizes and giveaways
