Santa Fe Plaza Goes Pedestrian-Friendly | Santa Fe News

Santa Fe’s historic Plaza is set for a major transformation as city leaders push to shut down key streets to cars—reclaiming space for pedestrians and cyclists. Lincoln and Palace avenues will be permanently car-free near the park, while San Francisco Street will be closed seasonally from Memorial Day through October (or later for Día de los Muertos). While supporters hail it as a safety and accessibility win, critics worry it could disrupt the city’s cultural vibe and tourist experience. The city manager retains flexibility to extend closures and plans vendor loading zones, plus possible special cruise nights—balancing heritage with modern urban needs.
