NYC Wants To Hear What You Think About The Dyckman Open Street

INWOOD, NY — The city's Open Streets program was one of the most significant initiatives to come out of the de Blasio administration's response to the coronavirus pandemic. While many New Yorkers are fans of the closed-off streets for pedestrians, not everyone supports the selection of certain blocks as Open Streets.

The New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) recently released a survey to "better understand" how the Dyckman Open Street in Inwood is used and what long-term public space improvements the community wants.

The specific Open Street is located on Dyckman Street between Broadway and Seaman Avenue.

The questions range from how close you live to the Dyckman Open Street, how often you visit or pass through the area, your reason for doing so, and what days and hours you generally visit the street.

The survey also asks for any suggestions in ways to make it better going forward.

For those who might not be familiar with Open Streets, single or multiple blocks are designated for pedestrian and cyclist use and enjoyment. Vehicle through traffic isn't permitted while the Open Street is in effect, but cars can enter for brief periods for local deliveries, emergencies, parking, and necessary city services.
