Under the program, selected streets across the five boroughs are open in both directions for people to play, walk, bike and enjoy the outdoors during the summer.
New York City 's annual Summer Streets celebration is officially underway in Queens and Staten Island.
Eyewitness News is in Hunters Point as celebrations are underway along Vernon Boulevard on Saturday morning. "Across this entire route, you'll have about 2-3 miles of car-free streets. People will be able to run, walk, jog, whatever it is, really enjoy and reclaim a lot of the street spaces for different uses," said Tomas Garita, NYC DOT's Executive Director of Strategic Communications.
Garita says that part of the celebrations include signature rest stops, which will have activities and performances for families and kids. As part of the festivities, Citi Bike is also offering free day passes for riders to enjoy unlimited 30-minute rides during Summer Streets.
