Streetfilms’ first full-length documentary “Close Encounters of the 34th Avenue Kind: The Story of NYC’s Best Open Street’ had it’s first sneak peek in a theater full of 150+ lucky attendees at Queen’s LaGuardia Community College on Tuesday, June 9th. Hear all about it and how we’re working on more ways to screen it!

Wherever you go in the world you can’t go wrong with making crowded business streets safer and more friendly to pedestrians. Here are five Streetfilms showing the different ways you can achieve that whether 24-7-365, seasonal installations, time limitations or just making designing for local traffic only!

My standing piece of advice for those who live in North America who pine to see the best-practice streets of dozens of places in Europe or want to educate colleague/friends what’s possible: just go to Montreal! It’s much closer! It’s fun, vibrant & welcoming to human beings not in cars!
