Rīga City Council has announced temporary traffic restrictions on Alberta Street and a section of Antonijas Street. Beginning August 14th and lasting until September 20th, these streets will be closed to vehicles on weekends. The restrictions apply to the entirety of Alberta Street and the portion of Antonijas Street between Dzirnavu and Elizabetes Streets. This initiative aims to create pedestrian-friendly zones in central Rīga during peak times. The council intends to encourage foot traffic and enhance the experience for residents and visitors. These temporary closures will facilitate a more relaxed environment for weekend activities. Motorists are advised to plan alternate routes during these periods.
