AUSTIN STREET OPEN STREET THIS SUMMER!

Well, it took two tries and a lot of effort, but we finally did it. The notification period has passed, and we’re on the official NYC Open Streets website: The Austin Street Open Street is live!

Thank you to all who have helped us get here!

There’s more work to be done before the start of the season, but we can be sure that there will be an Open Street every Sunday from August 30 to September 20 on Austin Street between 71st Ave and 71st Rd! And we’ll need your help! Neighbors for A Safer Austin Street is a 100% volunteer-run group, so we’ll need volunteers to help us manage the Open Street when it is active. This means moving barriers, ensuring things are in working order, and overall hanging out and keeping an eye out for any issues.

Sign up to volunteer for running the Open Street!
