Summer Streets 2010 - Play-Run-Walk-Bike!
AUGUST 7, 14, and 21- 7:00AM-1:00PM
For three consecutive Saturday mornings this August, 6.9 miles of City streets, from the Brooklyn Bridge to Central Park along Park Avenue and connecting streets will be temporarily closed to motor vehicles and open for you to walk, bike, skate, run, play, even swim! Celebrate summer with free fitness classes, take part in family-fun activities, listen to live musical performances, and sample tasty summer treats. Come out and see your streets in a whole new way! For more information visit www.nyc.gov/summerstreets.
How we are trying to make this event "green":
The main point of the event is that we are removing cars off of 6.9 miles of Park Avenue so it is very carbon neutral. The featured "dumpster pools" are upcycled and we are using green vendors for signage and flyers as well as limiting the amount of signage. We are stressing recycling throughout the event and have trash cans placed thhroughout the event with different environment tips. |
