From 7 am to 1 pm on August 9, 16, and 23, New York’s Park Avenue will partially resemble it’s earlier form when a municipal park actually occupied the right of way. A nod to the successful Ciclovia events in Bogota, Colombia, “Summer Streets” will ban all vehicular and bus traffic on the bustling thoroughfare from the Brooklyn Bridge to 72nd Street into central Park, giving way to pedestrians and cyclists only.

We really need that to happen here, that would be amazing.
The Miami BAC has discussed it, we’ll let you know when it happens…
Which streets were discussed? Brickell? Coral Way perhaps?
Biscayne Boulevard and Flagler
We were in NY during the transit strike a couple of years ago and the closed off Park Ave. for emergency vehicle. It was great.
