Mayor Eric Adams and NYC DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez announced yesterday, Monday October 24, that for the first time ever nearly 100 NYC streets will go car-free on Monday, October 31 to provide NYers a safe way to spend their night trick-or-treating. Aptly being called “Trick-or-Streets,” NYC’s original Open Streets program will expand on its hours this coming Monday from 4p.m. – 8p.m. Some of the streets will even have Dia de las Muertos programming from NYC DOT’s Public Space partners throughout the Halloween weekend for some spooky, fa-boo-lous fun. NYC DOT’s Public Space Programing Initiative brings free arts, cultural, fitness, and educational experiences to public spaces for all New Yorkers to enjoy. This news comes the same day the DOT celebrated the completion of the 34th Avenue Open Street redesign in Jackson Heights, a project started in 2020 that has successfully transformed 1.3 miles of 34th Avenue into a pedestrian and cyclist priority corridor. This Open Street dramatically reduced vehicular volumes and through traffic, improving safety for all road users with a 41.7% drop in crashes involving pedestrians.
