The New York City Department of Transportation is partnering with community groups to present Weekend Walks at 17 sites in all five boroughs from May through October. Local merchants' associations, community groups, and business improvement districts host these Weekend Walks to provide a fun new way to highlight local businesses and cultural institutions. The Walks are temporary pedestrian streets that create great opportunities for New Yorkers to meet, see their neighborhoods in a new way, and relax on summer weekends.
