New York City Is Latest To Close Some Streets To Cars, Making More Space For People

New York City has opened seven miles of streets to pedestrians and cyclists, in an effort to create more space for people to maintain a safe distance from one another while outside.

Mayor Bill de Blasio and the city council say 40 miles of streets across the boroughs will open during May, with an eventual goal of 100 miles in the coming weeks.

New Yorkers unite in praise of no gridlock!
