These Philly suburbs started closing their streets on weekends during the pandemic, and they might never stop
Crowds now flock to Phoenixville on weekend nights. West Chester is still closing Gay Street to cars on weekends this summer. Why? Well, it started so that people could safely socially distance during the pandemic and still be able to patronize local establishments. “If it wasn’t for the street closure, we would be out of business,” said one restaurant owner.
But both West Chester and Phoenixville are now looking to keep that boom as people are flocking to their downtowns for the walkable, vibrant nightlife. ”If you come down on a Friday or Saturday night, there are bands everywhere, musicians in the street, kids playing, adults walking around and talking to each other,” Phoenixville Mayor Peter Urscheler said. “It’s not Mardi Gras by any means. But it’s this community, jovial atmosphere.
