Take a look at one of San Francisco's Sunday Streets events! 

Vancouver LiveStreets will transform public spaces into arenas of positive change: for transportation, for the environment, for health, and for the community.

Vancouver LiveStreets is an event idea that invites you to bike, run, walk, rollerskate, wheel or stroll along a long stretch of streets. Explore your neighborhood and nearby community streets filled with free physical activities, performers, food and art. At specific points along the route you are invited to practice yoga, play hockey and dance on dedicated areas of normally busy streets. 
These events, often called Ciclovias, currently take place in over 25 cities worldwide and typically occur on vehicle free streets along a dedicated route ranging in length from 2 – 120 kms.     

"Downtown was 'centre ice' during the 2010 Winter Games because it was so easy to access by all modes of transportation. Highlighting that accessibility again through LiveStreets will not only bring visitors to the city for one day, but will be a great reminder of all the shops, businesses and amenities downtown has to offer every day."
