The Mayor Has Added More Open Streets in Brooklyn: Here's the List

Mayor Bill de Blasio on Thursday announced the opening of 12 more miles of streets and an additional nine new miles of temporary protected bike lanes to pedestrians and cyclists for his Open Streets initiative.

Similar to Summer Streets, aimed at giving New Yorkers more space to move around outdoor during warm weather without the worry of traffic, Open Streets offers the same, in light of social distancing and particularly as the weather warms.

The additional miles of Open Streets will bring New York City's total to 30 miles of streets since the program was announced on April 27, with a goal of opening 100 miles total by summer.

"Now that warmer weather has arrived, New Yorkers will need more options to enjoy the outdoors at a safe, social distance," said Mayor de Blasio. "We're grateful to all our local partners, and we believe new bike lanes will lay the groundwork for a cycling surge in the months and years to come."

Open Streets are available daily, from 8:00am to 8:00pm (unless otherwise noted) for pedestrians and cyclists to use the roadbed of the street while maintaining at least six feet of distance from others. Opening hours may vary by location due to NYPD staffing.

No through traffic permitted while Open Streets are in effect. Vehicle traffic is limited to local deliveries, pick-ups/drop-offs, necessary city service vehicles, utility vehicles and emergency vehicles only. These drivers are advised to be extremely cautious and to drive 5 MPH or slower.

Members of the public and organizations wishing to have other New York City streets considered for the Open Streets program may fill out an online survey. NYC DOT, NYPD and others will evaluate all suggestions for viability. If you have questions, please contact your NYC DOT Borough Commissioner's office.
