Open Streets 101
The 31st Avenue Open Street is part of NYC Open Streets, a program coordinated by the Mayor's Office and NYCDOT. Started at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, the goal of Open Streets is to bolster the public realm where open space and parks are limited. The program, which is now permanent by city law, helps to offer safe passageways for cycling and walking, outdoor areas for dining and seating, and programming—by, for and of the community.
Oh, and it’s 100% free!
