Newbury Street Going Car-Free For One Day In August

BOSTON (CBS) -- You'll be able to explore Newbury Street for one day next month without having to worry about traffic.

On Sunday, August 7, it will turn into a pedestrian-only walkway from Berkeley Street to Massachusetts Avenue, Mayor Marty Walsh announced Monday.

City officials said they have already received positive feedback from the community on the initiative, known as "Open Newbury Street."

"Open Newbury Street is an opportunity for our residents and visitors to enjoy everything Newbury Street has to offer without worrying about cars," Walsh said in a statement.

No parking will be allowed on the street beginning at 8 a.m. on August 7.
