Summer Streets is making its way to New York City again this season. Here's what you need to know:
The biggest version of Summer Streets is taking place this year in all five boroughs -- this after more than 500,000 people took part last year.
The expansion of summer streets comes less than a week after the city’s worst air quality day in decades. "It's a bold new vision for public space across the city," Mayor Eric Adams said regarding the 20 miles of streets that will form part of the latest iteration of the summer program, which will mark the largest version of the program since it launched in 2008 that closes down streets to provide extra public space for people to play, walk, and bike.
