New York City Department of Transportation Presents Summer Streets NYC 2010.
From 7am -1pm on the first three consecutive Saturdays in August (7, 14, 21) Manhattan will temporarily close the streets connecting East 72nd Street to the Brooklyn Bridge, from Park Avenue heading down Lafayette Street, to cars, and instead inviting cyclists, walkers and rollerbladers to spend an enjoyable traffic-free morning along the city’s streets. Now in its third year, Summer Streets is part of NYC’s green initiative, one of the city’s initiatives to promote outdoor recreation and eco-friendly transportation.
