Summer Stroll gets green light from CB 10
What last year proved elusive the idea of creating a pedestrian piazza along a portion of Third Avenue for four Friday nights during the summer is one step closer to coming to fruition.
At its February meeting, Community Board 10 gave the green light to the Summer Stroll plan sponsored by the Merchants of Third Avenue, with the backing of local elected officials of both parties. The vote was overwhelmingly in favor of recommending that the city go ahead with the proposal, which — if all goes as planned — would take place along the thoroughfare between 81st and 89th Streets from 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. on July 20 and 27, and August 10 and 17.
A total of 32 board members voted to support the plan, with one member voting no and one recusing herself.
