The New York City Department of Transportation is expanding the hours of Summer Streets to make sure everyone can enjoy the car-free zones citywide.
The program is extending by two extra hours this year — lengthening its operating hours for the first time since it launched in 2008.
Summer Street hours will now be from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. over five Saturdays in July an August.
That includes July 27 in Queens and Staten Island, Aug. 3, 10 and 17 in Manhattan and Aug. 24 in Brooklyn and the Bronx.
“New York City is back – and with our Summer of Possibility – there has never been a better time to enjoy the five boroughs,” said Mayor Adams.
The DOT says more than half a million New Yorker are now walking, biking and playing in the car-free corridors.
“Under the Adams administration, we’ve been working to make Summer Streets better and better with expansions year after year,” said DOT Commissioner Rodriguez.
