Colonial Road – Time to Dance in the Street!
Colonial Road between 83rd and 86th street was chosen as an Open Street for NYC. Every day from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, you can go there and dance in the street.
NYC has closed some streets so people can use them for walking and riding while appropriately social distancing from other people. See here
Now don’t get up on your high horse and tell people they can’t move or park their cars on these street – they can still park.
It’s all about sharing.
If you live on these blocks….I’m sorry. I know you are used to your quiet street. Hopefully it will just be used by some nice people. Giving small children a place to ride their bikes and scooters…and socially distance is a nice thing. This is temporary, just until we get through the coronavirus.
You may be thinking: Bay Ridge has a lot of open space just a few blocks away on Shore Road….and you are right. But every community is getting some Open Space for people to enjoy, be free and socially distance themselves.
This information was announced on the news.
Senator Gounardes and Councilman Brannan had an virtual chat with a Brooklyn group this week and didn’t mention this. Their virtual meetings are useless. *These leaders had a responsibilty to let the residents on these streets know what was going to happen – they shouldn’t have to hear it on the news!
