On Earth Day, New York City will implement a car-free initiative, closing 54 streets across its five boroughs to promote environmental awareness. Scheduled for 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the event connects Open Streets and bike-friendly plazas, enhancing access to NYC's extensive biking network. NYC DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez emphasized the importance of this event in fostering a collective responsibility towards combating climate change while providing an enjoyable experience for residents through activities and music. Additionally, Citi Bike offers free rides to encourage cycling as an eco-friendly option during the celebration.
âThis year's monumental Car-Free Earth Day celebration will feature exciting programming, music, and activities for New Yorkers from all walks of life at numerous car-free streets throughout the five boroughs.â
âThis Open Street activation should be a poignant reminder of our collective responsibility to combat climate change, and to preserve the beauty of our city as we work together to minimize our carbon footprint.â
