|  Summer Streets 2009 - Thank You! Thanks to all who attended the 2009 Summer Streets events. We'll see you again next summer! For now check out these great photos from the event. NYC DOT and our partners are proud to present Summer Streets. We temporarily closed Park Avenue and connecting streets from the Brooklyn Bridge to Central Park to motor vehicles and opened it up to people on three consecutive Saturdays in August 2009 (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. Visit the Weekend Walks website to find one near you. | |

| Bike Share Demonstrations! Come learn more about bike share, a trend that is sweeping the globe, creating a new, green, and healthy mobility option for urban-dwellers. We'll have demonstrations from Bixi, who currently runs Montreal's bike-share program and Bcycle which will soon start operating Denver's program. Find out more. And we still have over 150 free bikes, 180 pairs of free skates at the Soho Station at Spring Street, the Music and Culture Rest Stop at 24th Street and the Family Rest Stop at 51st Street. The bikes were in high demand last week, so stop by early to make sure there's one for you. See the Activities page for a full line up of events. And check back often for updates. Check out Picnics on Park Cabot Creamery Cooperative brings picnics to Park Avenue for Summer Streets 2009. Cabot has a long running history of supporting local communities within the Metro NY region and surrounding, which makes them a natural fit for Summer Streets. Cabot will host “Picnics on Park,” which is an area that will offer an opportunity for families and friends to get outdoors and picnic, while having fun in the sun, and to enjoy all the delicious health benefits of their award winning cheddars. “Picnics on Park” will take place at the Family Rest Stop located on Park Avenue between 51st and 52nd Streets. Cabot will also be offering Summer Streets guests the opportunity to “Cab It with Cabot” through complimentary pedi-cab rides around the Family Rest Stop. | |
