DOT announces car-free ‘Trick-or-streets’
CITYWIDE — CITY DEPARTMENT OF Transportation Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez on Thursday announced more than 100 spooky-themed street closures across the five boroughs in the month of October as part of the city’s third annual ‘Trick-or-Streets’ program, which allows neighborhood groups to create car-free zones for safer Halloween activities.
Programming at the DOT’s headline events will include live music, circus acts, the good kind of clown, jugglers and more. Brooklyn events include Halloween programming on Oct. 19 starting at noon at the Kensington Plaza and Chauncey Street open streets; on Oct. 20 starting at noon at the Tompkins Avenue open street; on Oct. 26 starting at 3 p.m. at the West 9th Street open street; and on Oct. 27 starting at noon on the Berry Street open street.
Starting Oct. 6, the DOT will also cohost a weekly ‘BQ Flea’ market in Williamsburg, under the BQE at Meeker Avenue between Union Avenue and Lorimer Street, which will run every Sunday in October.
In the coming weeks, NYC DOT will release the full list of Trick-or-Street events taking place this October, along with a map of car-free streets for Halloween. For more information about ‘Trick-or-Streets’ locations, visit nyc.gov/trickorstreets.
