Tucson to Close Congress Street to Cars on Halloween
Original: Tucson will close Congress Street to vehicles on Halloween, testing a pedestrian-only zone
Tucson will shut Congress Street to vehicle traffic on Halloween, running a trial of a pedestrian-only zone in the downtown corridor. The closure will let people walk the street freely during the holiday festivities while city officials gauge how a car-free configuration performs. It serves as a test of whether the busy street could permanently prioritize pedestrians over vehicles, a change many US cities are weighing for their downtown cores.
Why now: The city is trialing a car-free downtown street on a major party night, prompting debate over pedestrian zones and downtown traffic.
