A major expansion of car-free public spaces is set to transform Halloween celebrations across the city, with an unprecedented number of streets and plazas closing to vehicles for a "Trick-or-Streets" event. The initiative aims to provide safer, pedestrian-friendly alternatives for families and trick-or-treaters while encouraging outdoor activity in open spaces. Organizers emphasize the event’s scale, promising a citywide experience with extended hours and enhanced safety measures. Details on participation, routes, and additional programming are expected to be released ahead of the festivities.
