Pedestrian-Only Zone in Quidi Vidi Village Starts on June 23

The City of St. John’s is implementing a pedestrian-only zone in Quidi Vidi Village during weekends (Friday to Sunday) this summer, starting June 23 until September 4. 

This is the third year that the pedestrian-only zone is being implemented in Quidi Vidi Village, following positive feedback from residents and the community in previous years. 

Barrows Road and Stone’s Road will be closed to through traffic from Friday to Sunday, noon to 10 p.m. Local traffic will be permitted with barricades staffed during these hours. Access will be granted for Quidi Vidi Village Artisan Studio vendors and deliveries for local businesses, as well as users of the slip way for recreational fishing. 

Additional temporary accessible parking spots and bicycle racks will provide a more welcoming environment for all ages and abilities. 

It is critical to the safety of the public that if you are cycling or skateboarding through the pedestrian zone that you ride slowly and respectfully, always giving pedestrians the right of way. Please walk your bicycle or skateboard through the area if necessary.
