In San Jose, a city council celebration marked the upcoming closure of Post Street to create a pedestrian-friendly area. Business owners like Blair Carson expressed excitement about the transformation, highlighting years of collaborative planning. The area, home to LGBTQ-specific businesses, is being rebranded as the Qmunity District, aiming to serve as an inclusive space with vibrant activities like proposed music festivals. The closure encourages community togetherness and reflects ongoing efforts to enhance safety and vibrancy in the district, showcasing the power of collaborative vision among residents and local leaders.
"Today is a really big day for us, said Blair Carson, who owns Pageboy salon on Post Street. It hasn't been months, it's been years that we've been planning this."
"Inclusivity is a big part of the modern image of the historic street. In September 2020, Project MORE rebranded Post Street as the Qmunity District, a safe gathering space for the San Jose's LGBTQ community."
