by Amethyst Martinez, April 9, 2026

Excerpt: "Earth Day is on Wednesday, April 22, 2026.

"Car-free Earth Day takes place the following weekend on Saturday, April 25.

"#NewYorkCity shuts down streets across all five boroughs, allowing residents to #walk and #bike while taking advantage of a wide range of events hosted by the Department of Transportation.

"The tradition, which started in 2016, has become a fan-favorite across the city.

" 'Car-Free Earth Day has expanded to locations throughout the five boroughs – connecting #OpenStreets, #plazas, and accessing over 1,000 miles of NYC's #BikeNetwork,' the website says.'

[...]

"On the city's car-free day, public #art installations, musical performances, arts and #crafts and #workshops will all take place."

#CarFreeStreets: During the #Covid19 pandemic, cities around the world closed down streets to cars and opened them up for people. Over two years later, some of these experiments were so popular that they are here to stay... in SF, LA, NY and Dublin. https://reasonstobecheerful.world/car-free-streets-long-angeles-san-francisco-new-york-dublin/
