The New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) and community partners present Weekend Walks. Throughout the summer, temporary pedestrian streets are created for recreation in all five boroughs. 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. This is a great opportunity for community members to interact with one another, discover new things about neighborhoods, and relax on summer weekends.
There were 13 Weekend Walks sites in 2009. The Walks took place in all five boroughs from June through September. To apply to host a Weekend Walk in 2010 please download an application.
