The group will survey traffic volume in an effort to see if they can make the street permanently car-free on weekends. In 2008, We Love Tenjin released its Tenjin Community Development Guidelines which proposed a five to 10-year vision for Tenjin and included \u201cimproved walkability\u201d as one of its goals. Based on this, the group also conducted a similar pilot test on Tenjin\u2019s Southern St. Every day over 20,000 pedestrians use Kirameki-dori Ave., which is an important conduit linking Tenjin to Daimyo. We Love Tenjin plans to place benches on the closed road and have passers-by complete surveys.
