We’re only a few days away from the start of the 2025 Open Streets season on Vanderbilt Avenue! The start of the season is always exciting and reminds us why we do the hard work of running the Open Street — the benefits are incredible when it all comes to life!

As we take stock of this moment, we need your help to fight back against continued budget cuts. Mayor Adams has been starving the Open Street program for years, jeopardizing the future of Vanderbilt Avenue and countless other Open Streets. Along with organizers around the City, we’re fighting to make sure Open Streets stick around for good. 

By giving just a few seconds of your time you can help — sign our petition telling Mayor Adams and the City Council that we want fully funded Open Streets. Budget negotiations are happening right now, so now is the time to act!
