Organizers, designers and street-reclaimers: you are amazing! Thank you once again for converting boring parking spots into vibrant public spaces and for making Park(ing) Day NYC a tremendous success for the third year in a row. Fifty-one park(ing) spots lined city streets throughout the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan, inviting passers-by in to make a wish on a wishing tree, lie on pillows in Peace Park and envision how public spaces could be better allocated to people, not cars.

Park(ing) Day NYC will happen again in 2010! Check the Park(ing) Day NYC website in May for announcements about the September event and for information on how to register and plan your space. In the meantime, if you want to brainstorm ideas for a 2010 park(ing) space, check out the How-To section on the website and the Homepage for hundreds of images and a StreetsFilm video.

While the official (Park)ing Day NYC event does not occur in  the winter, street reclamation still can! To stay up to date on Transportation Alternatives events and actions, sign-up for the StreetBeat.

See you in 2010!
