abstract="Sunday Streets is an Open Streets initiative where local communities temporarily close streets to traffic, creating car-free space for recreation. This study used a survey of open- and close-ended questions to examine the reciprocal relationship between Sunday Streets and the communities and neighborhoods it serves. <br><br>FINDINGS suggest Sunday Streets provides participants with a safe (97.2%), vibrant environment (79.4%) where residents can decrease their stress (84.8%). Participants &quot;feel more connected&quot; to their neighborhood environment and recommend expansion of the route and more amenities. Sunday Streets offers ways for communities to support neighborhood social characteristics and social interactions and influence population health.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
