There's a new idea (well, new to Reno) being floated around by a couple of fantastic people I happen to know. It's the idea of closing down a series of streets...along a defined route....and letting people take them back from cars! Doesn't matter if you want to ride your bike, roller blade, walk, run, host a pick up game of ultimate frisbee. It's a chance to remind people that streets are for everyone.
In a total coincidence, while I was in San Francisco a few weekends ago, we just happened to run into exactly this type of even. I threw up a few pics of the SF event to get you excited and hopefully involved in making this happen in Reno.

| The actual event in SF. |

| I said anything goes didn't I....here we have modified Jazzy scooter jousting! Tell me you wouldn't try this! |
 |
| The street also just happened to be the same street as one of my favorite bars in SF. |

| Here's a little panorama to give you a better view. |
So, with this in mind, below is the proposal for the Reno event. And if you think we can't close a street in downtown Reno for a special event, just remind yourself of Hot August Nights, Street Vibrations, the Italian festival, the wing cook-off, or any other one of a million events in Reno. So let's make it happen!
