Park Slope Gets More Open Streets This Summer: Find Out Where

PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN — Park Slope's Fifth Avenue won't be the only car-free street in the neighborhood this summer.

Two stretches of Seventh Street are among a new batch of 35 Open Streets expected to launch over the year's hottest months, city transportation officials said.

With them, Park Slope will have five Open Streets where people can walk, bike, play, dine and otherwise frolic this summer.

"Communities love Open Streets because they bring neighbors together, boost local business, attract arts and culture, and make our streets safe," said Jackson Chabot, director of advocacy and organizing at Open Plans, in a statement.

Open Plans is listed as the partner for a Seventh Street Open Street between Fourth and Fifth avenues.

The closure is for a nearby school and runs Mondays to Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., according to the city's Open Streets site.

The other Seventh Street Open Street will be run with Saint Saviour Catholic Academy from Eighth Avenue to Prospect Park West. It runs Mondays to Fridays from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
