The NYC Department of Transportation today announced that Summer Streets 2010 will conclude tomorrow, with dozens of activities planned along the 6.9-mile car free route from the Brooklyn Bridge to Central Park from 7 a.m. – 1 p.m. Over one hundred thousand New Yorkers have enjoyed the first two Summer Streets, which has helped encourage more healthy physical activity and promoted walking and cycling in New York City.

A special guest this week will be 2010 U.S. Olympic Short Track Speed-Skating medalist Allison Baver, who will skate with the public and sign autographs starting at 9:45 a.m. at the Uptown Rest Stop location on Park Avenue between 50th and 51st Streets, and then continuing at 10:45 a.m. at the Midtown location at Park Avenue and 26th Street. A list of sample activities is below, and a complete list of activities is available at www.nyc.gov/summerstreets
