Final Summer Stroll event set for Aug. 12
Cars to be banned from Third Avenue for a night
Already basking in the glory of three successful Summer Stroll on 3rd nights held earlier this summer, the Merchants of Third Avenue group is busy preparing for the fourth and final stroll this Friday, Aug. 12.
The city will create a pedestrian plaza along a 10-block stretch of Third Avenue, between 80th and 90th streets, that will be open from 6 to 10 p.m. on Friday. Cars and trucks will be banned from the Summer Stroll zone so that pedestrians can be kings and queens of the street.
