18-355th Ave uniquely benefits from open streets because it allows families, neighbors, and others to enjoy local businesses and restaurants. The ability to do so without car traffic supports the community and has become an integral part of the neighborhood. Please continue open streets in Park Slope to support local businesses.Positive

35-5575% of NYC's streets are dedicated to the storage and movement of cars. Rededicating a tiny portion of that space in a city where the majority of people do not drive is a great idea. Open Streets make our city healthier and more sustainable.Positive

18-35As a resident of fifth Ave and an employee of a local institution, open streets impacts my personal and work life immensely- and entirely in a positive way. Open streets makes me want to explore park slope, makes it easier to discover local businesses I wouldn’t otherwise notice and feels like a weekly opportunity to celebrate our neighborhood with fellow neighbors and other New Yorkers. It’s been a part of my park slope experience since I moved and I would be incredibly disappointed if it did not continue. As an event planner, I rely on the opportunities for natural public gatherings that open streets creates to program free events for the community. I know that my organization’s mission work will be limited if open streets doesn’t continue and it will be detrimental to not only our org, but our extended park slope community.

18-35As an architect who studied urban design, this program is paramount to the sense of community in Park Slope. Eliminating it would be shortsighted. These programs are what New York should be striving towards, not bringing into question. The support it provides to small businesses is undeniable. Midblock businesses with more limited street presence are given more exposure. The public has the opportunity to occupy the street for a longer period rather than passing through. This allows people to create stronger connections with both their neighbors and the shops and restaurants on 5th Ave.Positive

Families came from all over Brooklyn and told me it was the coolest birthday party they'd ever attended. They fell in love with Open Streets as well. I met so many families with children who were of similar age to my children. We would meet on the street every weekend and eat and drink while our children played.

03/09/2024 16:52:11More than 1YesDining,Walking35-55I have continued to almost entirely avoid indoor dining because of COVID. I have only eaten a meal inside an NYC restaurant/bar three times since April 2020. So I have really appreciated the additional outdoor dining opportunities afforded by Open Streets in my own neighborhood of Park Slope. Even today, the NYC Department of Health website says, "To reduce your risk of getting COVID-19: Consider wearing a mask in crowded indoor public settings, such as on public transit, at large events, and when shopping in crowded stores." (https://www.nyc.gov/site/doh/covid/covid-19-main.page) It seems obvious that the indoor space of a busy restaurant constitutes a "crowded indoor public setting." It is unconscionable that the NYC Department of Health recommends masking in crowded indoor public settings and then cuts funding for programs like Open Streets. Since no one can possibly mask while eating a meal, it is important that Open Streets and other similar programs continue so that people can still take precautions to avoid getting and spreading COVID, per the NYC Department of Health's guidance.Positive

The only downside is the aggressive weaving in and out of delivery guys on motorized bikes. If we could provide them with their own lane somehow it would be safer and more enjoyable for all.PositiveControl Bikes
