Sioux Falls Tests Safer Streets | Pierre News

Sioux Falls just turned 10th Street into a pedestrian paradise—complete with planters, chalk art, and narrower lanes—to see if slowing traffic can make downtown safer and more lively. With 15,000 cars daily, the city tested this temporary redesign as a sneak peek for future viaduct upgrades focused on walkers and slower speeds. Local businesses and residents loved it—feeling safer, happier, and energized by food trucks and street art. The pilot’s real win? It gave planners real data on speed and space, proving that streets can serve people beyond cars. This is just the beginning of a bigger vision: downtown reimagined for everyone.
