In a move to promote a safe and responsible return to shopping, dining and socializing in its historic center, Hudson joins cities and towns around the world making street space available to businesses, residents, and local organizations in new ways through its Shared Summer Streets initiative. On weekends from 10am to 10pm and weekdays from 4pm to 10pm, businesses on Warren Street between 7th and Front Streets have the opportunity to expand activities to sidewalks and select parking spaces, while pedestrians share the street with cars at 5 mph to allow adequate space for physical distancing. Shared Summer Streets is a living experiment. Physical infrastructure and signage will be made locally and an advisory committee will channel feedback from residents and businesses into improvements and adjustments throughout the summer.
We would like to thank Mayor Kamal Johnson for his support and confidence in the plan, and the Columbia Economic Development Corporation and The Spark of Hudson for providing key financial support to re-open the streets to people.
