New York City’s Open Streets program transforms streets into public space open to all. These transformations allow for a range of activities that promote economic development, support schools, and provide new ways for New Yorkers to enjoy cultural programming and build community. NYC DOT works with community-based organizations, educational institutions, and groups of businesses to execute Open Streets citywide.
Alexander Avenue is a Full Closure Open Street entering its fourth year of operation. Full Closures allow for a range of car-free activities that support local businesses and neighborhoods, and create a safe place for New Yorkers to gather. These Open Streets support multiple uses, including outdoor dining, and community programming. Full closures also allow for a car free environment for passive and active street uses. No vehicle access and no parking allowed when Full Closures are in effect. A 15 foot emergency lane must be clear at all times, for emergency vehicle access. Typical Setup for Full Closure |
