NYC DOT and our partners are proud to present Summer Streets. We will temporarily close Park Avenue and connecting streets from the Brooklyn Bridge to Central Park to motor vehicles and open it up to people on three consecutive Saturdays in August (August 8, 15, & 22). Learn more
This year DOT is also partnering with groups
citywide to bring some summer streets fun to neighborhoods in all five boroughs.
