No Cars Allowed!
Summer Streets is well underway and New Yorkers couldn't be happier. The 6.9 mile car-free route from the Brooklyn Bridge to Central Park at 72nd street has drawn residents and visitors from around the city, the country and the world. In a recent editorial, the New York Times proclaimed, "Without honking horns and speeding taxis, the streets became serene parks, open to throngs of cyclists, in-line skaters and strollers. Yoga and fitness classes added to the therapeutic feel. Cyclists and walkers mostly seemed to respect each other, and people found themselves doing something decidedly un-New York: meandering." By almost every measure, Summer Streets has been a big hit.
