Designated roads in the Civic District and CBD will be closed to allow the public to enjoy activities on the streets without vehicular traffic. Through the activities at such events, we hope to encourage pedestrians and Active Mobility device users to adopt etiquettes to share our spaces safely and harmoniously.

SPS Baey Yam Keng will be gracing the event and will be cycling and participating in the various activities at the event.
