New York City Is Latest To Close Some Streets To Cars, Making More Space For People

A New York City worker closes a street to car traffic in Manhattan on Saturday so that pedestrians and cyclists can maintain social distancing. Mayor Bill de Blasio said 100 miles will be closed to car traffic in the coming weeks.

The move to limit car access on seven miles of streets comes amid pressure to allow more room for people to exercise while maintaining social distance to stem coronavirus transmission.
