Ciclovia Princeton
2025-06-22 10:00 - 14:00
Let’s reimagine streets as places for people!
“Ciclovía” is a Spanish term that means cycleway, or a temporary closing of streets to automobiles for cyclists and pedestrians. Ciclovia Princeton will temporarily “reimagine” a few roads within town — Walnut Ln from Houghton Rd to Guyot Ave — maximizing this public space with engaging, all-ages activities that bring us together to socialize, get creative, and move freely.
Along the route, you are invited to pick up stretching and mobility tips in free yoga demonstrations, get moving at a Capoeira workshop, brush up your skills in a bike safety area, watch as chalk murals come to life, and discover moments of live music in motion. There will also be a bike decorating contest, where we encourage you to use sourced and recycled materials to transform your bikes.
Tour De Flair bike decorating competitionHosted by the Princeton Recreation CommissionSchedule: 11:45am registration deadline, 12:00pm for parade and judging, winner announcements at 1:30pmCategories: Adult ages 14 and up, youth ages 13 and under, and Family.Prizes: For each Category, 1st place 7 day passes to the Community Park Pool, 2nd place 3 day passes to the pool, 3rd place 1 day pass to the pool.
Walk, run, bike, skate, roll, push strollers, dance, and enjoy the road at your own pace. However you move, or whether you simply pull out a lawn chair to take it all in, participate in whatever way feels good for you, car-free and care-free. Ciclovia Princeton is presented by Sustainable Princeton and the Arts Council of Princeton, with support from the Municipality of Princeton.

Author Talk: Henry Grabar on "Paved Paradise"
2025-09-18 19:00 - 20:00 | Princeton Public Library, 65 Witherspoon, Princeton, NJ, 08542, United States
What would you do for a great parking spot?
Henry Grabar will explore how the pursuit of the perfect parking space has forced us to sacrifice affordable housing, attractive architecture, walkable neighborhoods, and lively town centers in favor of congestion, sprawl, and waste, weaving the parking fixation into the history of the postwar American city. He will also discuss his reporting on how cities and towns across the country are beginning to challenge this legacy of 20th-century car culture, with surprising results. You’ll never look at a parking space the same way again.
About the Book (from the publisher):
Parking, quite literally, has a death grip on America: each year a shocking number of Americans kill one another over parking spots, and we routinely do ridiculous things for parking, contorting our professional, social, and financial lives to get a spot. Since the advent of the car, we have deformed our cities in a Sisyphean quest for car storage, and as a result, much of the nation’s most valuable real estate is now devoted to empty vehicles. Parking determines the design of new buildings and the fate of old ones, traffic patterns and the viability of transit, neighborhood politics and municipal finance, and the overall quality of public space. Is this really the best use of our finite resources? Is parking really more important than everything else?
In a beguiling and absurdly hilarious mix of history, politics, and reportage, Slate staff writer Henry Grabar brilliantly surveys the nation’s parking crisis, revealing how the compulsion for car storage has exacerbated some of our most acute problems— from housing affordability to the accelerating global climate disaster—and, ultimately, how we can free our cities from parking’s cruel yoke.
About the Speaker:
Henry Grabar is a staff writer at Slate where he writes the Metropolis column, with a focus on housing, transportation, and the environment. His work has also been published in Architect, the Atlantic, the Guardian, Harper’s, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and other outlets, and he has produced podcasts for Decoder Ring, 99 Percent Invisible, and What Next. He was the editor of The Future of Transportation anthology (Metropolis Books, 2019), and was the author of Paved Paradise: How Parking Explains the World (Penguin Press, 2023), which was named a best book of the year by the New Yorker and the New Republic.
