NYC Summer Streets 2009

On Saturday the New York City Department of Transportation and partners kicked off the second annual Summer Streets. A car-free zone was created from 7 AM to 1 PM starting at 72nd Street and traveled mainly along Park Ave to the Brooklyn Bridge. New York City Department of Transportation Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan estimated that double the number of people visited the 7 mile route compared to the first Summer Streets event last year. If you missed Summer Streets on Saturday, don't worry for you have two more chances to experience the car-free bliss on August 15th and 22nd.

Wow, you're speedy! Good work EP. I was especially taken by the remarkable pug-Pan cinematog.

We should have a Summer Streets-like thing in my city. Though we'd need a LOT more shaded areas, cool-off zones, and of course money or sponsors.

I loved it!!! I am one of the Volunteers! I was assigned to Zone 5 with my Zone Manager = Danielle Campbell! My hours/shift was from 6:30am-10:30am wearing comfortable shoes! And I sure did! I wore my "SHAPE-UPS!" I loved it! I exercised while I volunteered and I enjoyed saying HI to everyone and asking them if they WERE ENJOYING THEMSELVES! I loved working on 8th Street with The Traffic Officers and they were AWESOME too! They loved the fact that we really worked as a TEAM!!!! I mean it was amazing! I MADE DANIELLE PROMISE ME TO CONTACT ME FOR THE NEXT ONE AND ACTUALLY FOR ANY AND EVERY OTHER EVENT!!! I LOVE IT!! THANK YOU SUMMER STREETS AND KEEP IT GOING,EACH & EVERY YEAR!!!!! IVY
