On Saturday, Barbara participated in New York City's Summer Streets. Summer Streets is an annual celebration of one of New York City's most valuable public spaces – the streets. On three consecutive Saturdays in August, nearly seven miles of NYC's streets are opened for people to play, run, walk, and bike. Summer Streets is a great opportunity for people to take over the streets, participate in healthy recreation, and encourages New Yorkers to use more sustainable forms of transportation. In 2015, nearly 300,000 people took advantage of the open streets. Summer Streets is held between 7 am and 1 pm and extends from the Brooklyn Bridge to Central Park.
