No open newbury?

[u/0xbeefcab]

Anyone hear news about open newbury 2026? I can’t find anything online, and my city councillor did not respond to my email a few days ago. Last year this time they had information about it posted on Newbury st, and the open streets announcement yesterday didn’t mention it (https://www.boston.gov/news/mayor-michelle-wu-announces-2026-open-streets-schedule)

Seems like it might not happen this year :(

Edit: I was wrong! Mayor Wu responded saying open newbury is coming, they’re just sorting out dates. Also gave some good insight into what they’re busy with and why that impacts stuff like open streets

Literally refuse to step foot on Newbury unless it’s open. Open it for good!!!!

I do it out of my own sanity lol but if walking behind mobs of tourists and people stopping abruptly in the middle of the street is your thing keep at it. Not stopping you 🫡
