We are working hard to have a car free route. If you are a resident with a driveway directly on the route, please plan ahead and park elsewhere if you know you will need access to your vehicle on event day.

See below for additional detour and resident access information.

Emergency vehicles always have access to the event route. We ensure that proper access is provided and that activity hubs are set up to ensure emergency vehicle access is not restricted. EMTs and Police are also on-site throughout the event.

For more information, contact AnnMarie Kirkpatrick, Active Modes Specialist, at akirkpatrick@fcgov.com. 

Open Streets events rotate across Fort Collins. In some cases, we create detour routes for area residents and employees to navigate in order to avoid the event route. We directly mail preferred detour information to residences and employers around the event route. 

For this year, if your driveway is directly on the route, please plan to park on a side street if you know you will need access to your vehicle.

We appreciate your help maintaining a safe and fun environment for all participants.

If you live on the event route, on-street parking is not prohibited. However, because activities are located all along the event route, the streets will be somewhat crowded. To help prevent any safety issues, we encourage you to park on a nearby side street, in your driveway, or garage.

We have programming planned all along the route and, parking will not be allowed. However, these areas are usually relatively small and will have minimal impact on your on-street parking spaces. Activities will not block driveways or side streets.

Open Streets events are fun and free. They generally attract families who ride bikes, scooters, skateboards, walk, or jog. They bring their dogs, explore beautiful neighborhoods, engage in activities for all ages provided by local businesses and organizations. 

But, if you live along and Open Streets event route, you can bring your own activity to the street! At past events, neighbors have organized their own barbecues, displayed their art, set up lemonade stands, and brought their breakfast right to the street. 

Do you have a special talent that you want to show off at Open Streets? You can officially join Open Streets, or pop up right at home. Contact AnnMarie Kirkpatrick, Active Modes Specialist, at akirkpatrick@fcgov.com for more information. We encourage residents to bring their music, art, products, and neighbors together at Open Streets!
