The closure, approved by City Council last weekend, will start Memorial Day weekend and last through Labor Day.

The intention is to create more safety for pedestrians along King Street to Waterford Park, and other areas along the river, the magazine said.

City Officials will decide after Labor Day if the pilot program will become a permanent change to King Street, as reported by Alexandria Living.
