Summer streets is coming to all five boros
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 the program this summer. Organizations can visit https://www. surveymonkey.com/r/ XS957NZ and fi ll out a survey to be part of Summer Streets. We are bringing joy back to New York City streets. New Yorkers can also enjoy expanded
Open Streets at nearly 160 locations across the city, as well as 400,000 square feet of new, permanent pedestrian space that we have added over the past year. That’s in addition to the new public spaces we are building every day and in every borough. And we are making his- tory by opening up new street space to pedestrians. In December, we opened 5th Avenue to people for the fi rst time in more than 50 years. And I am proud that we are making history once again by bringing Summer Streets to New Yorkers in every borough.

Summer is a time for everyone — no matter where you live, how old you are, or how much money you make — to come together and relax. On Summer Streets, you can walk, run, play, dance, ride a bike, cool off in mists and sprinklers, paint a picture, get a temporary tattoo, appreciate art, join a dance party, or just take a selfi e. It will be lots of fun — and we will be reducing traffi c congestion, greenhouse gases and air pollution at the same time. Happy summer, and I look forward to seeing you on a Summer Street.
