Open Plans is proud to have led the effort for the first-ever open street gate! This simple solution gives kids more space to play and learn, getting exercise while staying safe. We're excited to have more updates on Clarkson St soon!

School is back in session and we are working hard to make sure the streets are safe for students across New York City. This includes speed limit reductions under Sammy's Law and safety improvements to school Open Streets.

Vibrant public spaces create vibrant public life. Thanks to everyone who chatted with the Streetopia team at the West Side County Fair this Sunday about what livable streets and better open spaces mean for our community. New Yorkers deserve a beautiful public realm every day!

Our new tool is out and ready to be used! This dashboard lets you analyze which communities need an LTN the most by using data like percentage of car-free households, commuting method, air pollution levels, recent crashes & much more! Access it: neighborhoods.openplans.org
