Summer Streets NYC 2025 https://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/pedestrians/summerstreets.shtml Is a preview of a people-centered NYC.

This clip follows me through Upper Manhattan from Dyckman (~200 Street) and Broadway down to 110th Street and Broadway when the streets were closed to cars.

The Summer Streets program shuts private cars out of Broadway and blocks most cross traffic. It is pretty amazing.

Internet tell me-- would the volume of people (by foot and bike) using the street in this clip yield a traffic jam if they were all in single passenger cars? (My gut says yes.)

Anyhow-- enjoy.

I am just wishing that summer streets was a few hours every mild weekend March-November.
