Temporarily closing residential streets to allow kids to play and socialise safely outside has proved beneficial for both children and adults.

Seven-year-old Aydin is relishing the chance to play somewhere new. It’s Colenso Mount, a street in the Holbeck area of Leeds where he lives, which has been temporarily closed to traffic to become a ‘Play Street’.
We have similar events in Los Angeles called CicLAvia, they’re wonderful! I hope these become the norm everywhere.
I’d appreciate it more if they’d do something similar to a lot of cities, and convert streets to invite public interactions.
