On May 1, 2016, the City of Charlotte will open the city streets from NoDa to Memorial Stadium so that people can play, run, sing, play music and dance in the streets. That’s right – no cars, no worries.
Open Streets 704 “aims to build a better, healthier, connected community by encouraging Charlotte and Mecklenburg area residents to walk, bicycle, and experience the city together in a way that’s just not possible in a car.” Our friends at Well-Run Media have been working hard to spread the word about this inaugural Charlotte initiative. We were lucky enough to once again partner with DC and his wonderful team along with the Mecklenburg County Parks & Recreation Department for another round of Clean Graffiti.
Clean Graffiti for Open Streets 704 in Cordelia Park in the NoDa area of Charlotte, NC.
We put down this awesome reverse graffiti in several parks around the city including Cordelia, Spencer St. and Clemson Ave. parks in NoDa; Independence Park in Elizabeth; and Freedom Park in the Dilworth area of Charlotte, NC.

This initiative is brought to the people of Charlotte through a grant from the Knight Foundation and in partnership with Partners for Parks, Mecklenburg County Government, City of Charlotte Department of Transportation, Mecklenburg County Park & Recreation, The Mecklenburg County Health Department and the support of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police & Fire Departments.
So Save the Date.
Check out the route here.
Start spreading the word.
Call your friend and make plans to bike that day.
Open Streets: May 1, 2016 from 12-4pm.
And if you see some Clean Graffiti while hanging with your pup at the park, take a pic and let us know what you’re going to do in the streets on May 1.
