New York City announced the 2023 Open Streets program — where streets are closed to cars so residents can enjoy more outdoor space on foot — will feature almost 160 locations spanning nearly 300 city blocks.

Open Streets began as an experimental initiative during the pandemic, aimed at giving New Yorkers space to safely leave cramped apartments and get some fresh air. Some of this year’s new applications include 136th Street in Queens, Beck Street in the Bronx, Hudson Boulevard East and West in Manhattan and Troutman Street in Brooklyn, according to an agency press release.
Local businesses and community groups can submit applications to add streets to the program through the DOT website. While some streets can be fully closed to vehicles, others remain partly open for limited local access, allowing parking, pick-ups and drop-offs, Access-A-Ride and emergency services. No through traffic is allowed.
