@nyc-dot.bsky.social must commit to true streetscape improvements on Atlantic Ave as @chiosse.bsky.social and CM Hudson insisted at this week's Council hearing! @sophlebo.bsky.social continues her great coverage of AAMUP in @nyc.streetsblog.org: nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/03/28/c...
The Open Streets program is in serious danger due to lack of funding and support from city hall. What a tragedy.
Many thanks to everyone who came out to support us! @brooklynspoke.bsky.social @nyccomptroller.bsky.social @openplans.org and many more!
Having to fundraise to run the Vanderbilt Open Street every year is not sustainable. This weekend we rallied with Open Streets organizers from around NYC asking
Mayor Adams to provide truly sustainable funding for Open Streets. Without a change, Open Streets won't survive beyond 2025.
Open streets are a refuge for me - places to meet up more safely outdoors and a small breath of fresh air among NYC's primarily car-dominated streets.
City government needs to make sure this incredible vibrant program has what it needs to thrive.

ICYMI, the Vanderbilt Open Street will only run on Saturdays this year. This is a completely volunteer-led program, and needless to say, it is a challenge to run. We need your help to ensure the program is the best it can be this year and is sustainable for years to come. Links below!
It is always a special day when there is salsa on Vanderbilt Avenue. This incredible gathering brings out a community of NYers that come from all walks of life. Want to see Salsa Salsa back on Vanderbilt this season? Help us make it happen: www.gofundme.com/f/vanderbilt...
This program relies heavily on volunteer labor and doesn't have near the needed amount of city support. Until we get there, please consider making a contribution to support us: www.gofundme.com/f/vanderbilt...
We’re thrilled that Vanderbilt Open Street will be back for 2025! Unfortunately, we've had to make some adjustments this year, and the season will run on an abbreviated schedule: Saturdays only from 12pm-10pm from May through September.
