New York City has added play streets to its open streets initiative.
“Young people deserve the chance to play freely in their neighborhoods while staying safe from COVID-19, and Play Streets will go a long way toward easing the burden of a summer unlike any other,” said Mayor Bill de Blasio.
Organizing Partners will be responsible for setting up barricades and posting signage, as well as restoring the Open Street condition at the end of the programming.
A new Open Streets location will be added in Red Hook and it will be sponsored by Good Shepherd Services. The location will be on Wolcott Street from Conover to Van Brunt Street.
