Zone restricted for the cars on 22nd of September is part of the street near the central park. Currently this street is not highly used, but there is an idea to try out pedestrialization of this street. That is why it is planned to close the street for the cars for the whole day, allowing children to play and participate in the competitions. Sport competition of the closed for cars street will be the main event during this day.
