We’re thrilled that Vanderbilt Open Street will be back for 2025! Unfortunately, we've had to make some adjustments this year, and the season will run on an abbreviated schedule: Saturdays only from 12pm-10pm from May through September.

if you build it they will bike 👀
The number of cyclists using Vanderbilt Avenue dramatically increases during open street hours when there's a safe route for cyclists — evidence that protected space for cyclists must replace the painted bike lanes that drivers often park in.

The Open Streets program is in serious danger due to lack of funding and support from city hall. What a tragedy.

The Open Streets program is in serious danger due to lack of funding and support from city hall. What a tragedy.
Having to fundraise to run the Vanderbilt Open Street every year is not sustainable. This weekend we rallied with Open Streets organizers from around NYC asking
Mayor Adams to provide truly sustainable funding for Open Streets. Without a change, Open Streets won't survive beyond 2025.

Open streets are a refuge for me - places to meet up more safely outdoors and a small breath of fresh air among NYC's primarily car-dominated streets.
City government needs to make sure this incredible vibrant program has what it needs to thrive.

Open Streets Won't Survive Without More Money From the City, Organizers Warn - Streetsblog New York City
Open streets have shrunk significantly — and more cuts could be coming if the city doesn't cough up more funding, volunteers warned.

ICYMI, the Vanderbilt Open Street will only run on Saturdays this year. This is a completely volunteer-led program, and needless to say, it is a challenge to run. We need your help to ensure the program is the best it can be this year and is sustainable for years to come. Links below!
