Beginning at 11am today, the city will shut down White Oak and Quitman between Heights Boulevard and Fulton for walkers and bikers.
It's part of a pilot program called Open Streets, which is designed to encourage people to be physically active by walking or cycling.
Today is the first day of the program, but the city plans to hold Open Streets events in May and June.
City officials say they want to encourage people to explore Houston's neighborhoods.
The street will be closed until 3pm.

Sunday, April 6: White Oak from Heights to Fulton
