U District's Ave Going Carfree for Three Saturdays in May, June

Seattle’s U District is testing a car-free pedestrian street on three Saturdays in May and June along University Way (The Ave) between NE 42nd and 43rd Streets. The pilot runs 11am–8pm on May 30, June 6, and June 13, aiming to show what a fully pedestrianized Ave could look like year-round, with street patios and outdoor seating for local businesses.
