Summer Streets 2009

For three Saturday mornings this summer, New York City pedestrians will take over seven miles of Park Avenue (and connecting streets) from the Brooklyn Bridge to Central Park. During Summer Streets weekends, the streets will be closed to vehicle traffic and opened up to New Yorkers for fun activities and live entertainment.

Take advantage of free bike and skate rentals, free fitness classes, free tennis lessons, and more. Organized by the New York City Department of Transportation, the goal of Summer Streets is to get New Yorkers out for some healthy recreation and encourage the use of sustainable forms of transportation (like your two strong feet and that bike taking up half of your NYC apartment). In 2008, thousands of New Yorkers hit the road for Summer Streets. Come out and join the fun in 2009.
