The Open Streets program will return this December to Manhattan.
New York City will expand this program where it pedestrianizes several streets around Rockefeller Center and Fifth Avenue.
In 2023, 12 blocks will be closed to cars, that is, 25 percent more than the previous year.
According to authorities, the program left a 6.6 percent increase in sales in local businesses during its implementation in 2022.
This year, Fifth Avenue will be closed from 48th Street to 59th Street.
The closures will take place on Sundays, December 3, 10 and 17 from 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm.
On the rest of the days, barriers will be placed over the traffic lanes to widen the sidewalks.
In addition, right turns will be prohibited.
In this space there will also be shows and there will be drinks and food for sale.
Streets around Rockefeller Center will also be closed.
West 49th Street and West 50th Street will be pedestrianized between Fifth and Sixth Avenues.
In this section the streets will be closed between 11:00 in the morning and midnight every day.
