DENVER — Parts of Broadway and Welton Street were closed to cars Sunday morning for the first-ever Viva Streets event.
About three and a half miles of the downtown-area roads were closed so people could walk, bike and scoot without worrying about cars. Activity areas along the route featured food, drinks, scavenger hunts, free classes and more.
The event, hosted by the Downtown Denver Partnership, "celebrates Denver's vibrant neighborhoods and supports local business with temporary car-free streets."
The roads closed to cars are Broadway from Alameda to 20th Street and Welton Street from 20th Street to Five Points. Eight crossing points are open for cars to get through.
Sunday's event was the first of four planned for this spring and summer. The next three are on June 4, July 9 and August 6, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day.
