same question as with the manhattan one - why not do this on sunday rather than saturday? seems like it would be more appropriate. Probably because a lot of people want to go to church Sunday morning. Not much in this event, though, only six blocks. Far short of the seven miles in Summer Streets. I'm definitely going to Summer Streets.

Great, now Berry Street is going to be a complete shit show. I wouldn't care if I didn't live on it.

@PBRK My guess is that the B61 would be routed onto Berry, which runs parallel to Bedford from Broadway to Lorimer.

I wonder what degree of exclusivity for each street is appropriate to make that street less congested, more pedestrian friendly, but still maintains/increases commerce for business owners?

This is great! They should do this every weekend or a couple days a week.

What happens to the B61 bus route?
