This August, the Capitol Hill Eco District (which is led by a public development authority) will give pedestrian-only streets at Pike/Pine a trial run. While an exact street has yet to be chosen for the test drive, Pike between Broadway and 11th and 10th and 11th between Pike and Pine are the top picks. The closure, reports Capitol Hill Seattle, is likely to occur at peak bar hours (about 10 p.m. to 3 a.m.) on a Friday or Saturday, during the Capitol Hill Arts Walk, or during the Broadway Farmer's Market. If the trial run is a success, pedestrian-only streets in the area could become recurring events by next year.
