Lo, the glorious day is nigh.  Prepare yourselves!  Summer Streets is upon us!

Direct from the DOT:

Summer Streets is for you!

For three Saturdays this August, take pleasure in nearly 7 miles of car-free streets from the Brooklyn Bridge to Central Park.

Play! Run! Walk! Bike! Breathe!…at SUMMER STREETS!!

August 9th, 16th and 23rd from 7am - 1pm

Lafayette Street – 4th Avenue – Park Avenue – 72nd Street – Central Park with connections to Harlem and the West Side Greenway

Choose a route as long or as short as you’d like, or just come to relax in the new space.  It’s a whole new way to see NYC streets!

For more information, visit www.nyc.gov/summerstreets and watch the Summer Streets video.

Summer Streets is for cyclists, joggers, skaters and strollers of all ages and abilities. This is not a race. We encourage everyone to be courteous during Summer Streets and most of all have fun!

What’s this?  A Summer Streets PSA, put together by–who else–the omnipresent, ever-productive forces at Streetfilms:

After the hop, a full map (which can also be downloaded, PDFs styles, here).
