Celebrating ten years of open street events, Viva CalleSJ in San Jose has evolved from an initial skepticism about car-free spaces into a celebrated community event. Launched in 2015, it aimed to provide a temporary zone free from cars where residents could engage in various activities like cycling, walking, and art. Despite initial resistance from both residents and officials, through collaborative efforts and persistence, the initiative thrived, fostering a culture of exploration and community. The next events are scheduled for June 8 and September 7, promising continued growth and enthusiasm for this dynamic urban experience.
Viva CalleSJ has transformed from a radical idea into a beloved community event, encouraging residents to explore San Jose without the confines of cars.
Through persistent advocacy and community engagement, Viva CalleSJ became a symbol of inclusivity and health in San Jose, showcasing the joy of car-free urban spaces.
