Summer Streets - Car Free Park Avenue

For the past three Saturdays New York City has been experimenting with limiting a 7 mile stretch of Park Avenue to only bike and pedestrian traffic. It's called Summer Streets.



Normally the city streets are a jungle of traffic, noise, and pollution.



But it's amazing how calm and wonderful the city feels when you take away motor traffic.



Without the motor traffic New York feels like a quiet small town, just with a bunch of tall buildings.
