The Summer Streets days of summer are upon us

The annual Summer Streets celebration returns on the first three Saturdays of the month (August!).

Starting tomorrow (Saturday!), nearly seven miles of NYC roadways are closed to vehicles for people to run, walk, bike, complain that this makes double parking nearly impossible, etc. 

As in previous years, this car-free zone includes Lafayette, Astor Place and Fourth Avenue from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. You can find more details about Summer Streets at this link, including the sponsors and free exercise classes on Astor Place.

    And of course impacts on MTA bus service.
    But who cares about bus riders - especially elderly and people with health or mobility issues.

    I did it today in Manhattan, it was great and Park Ave has no bus services and the major cross town streets were well monitored by NYPD. BTW, my wife and I take MTA/NJ Transit (subway, bus, train) all the time so please.
