As I was walking to work this morning I happened upon this awesome thing that NYC offers: Summer Streets! Here’s the description NYC.gov offers:
“Join us for the fifth annual Summer Streets! On August 4, 11 and 18 from 7 am to 1 pm, nearly seven miles of New York City’s streets will be opened up for everyone to play, run, walk and bike. From the Brooklyn Bridge to Central Park, along Park Avenue and connecting streets you can rock climb at Spring Street, receive a free bike helmet at 51st Street, soar through the air on a zip line at Foley Square or just stroll along and experience the city’s streets in a new way—all for free.”

Doesn’t that sound amazing??? Does your city/community offer anything like this? Why not start it up?
