Dumpster Pool Delight At Summer Streets

Summer Streets started today and you can share your photographs of the walking/ biking/ blading/ swimming fun by tagging them "gothamist" on Flickr or emailing them to photos@gothamist.com. But here are a few we found on Twitter—looks like people were really enjoying the dumpster pools!

The next Summer Streets is next Saturday, August 14, and then August 21 will be the final day. Between 7 a.m. and 1 p.m., 6.9 miles of city streets—along Park Avenue and other connecting streets from the Brooklyn Bridge to Central Park—are closed to vehicular traffic.

    Our city, schools, fire department, parks, beaches - cash strapped - and this is the cheap publicity that DOT bureaucrats foist as civic improvement!

    How much did it cost us for the privilege of a dozen kids to swim in a pool?

    I hope at least three or four senior centers were closed to usher in the age of the "dumpster pool"

    I rode up and down the route twice and didn't see one of these today.

    It looks the capacity of a Dumpster Pool is about 5 people. To get enough pools, the City would need about 1,6000,000 Dumpsters

    Disgusting urine tanks. I can only imagine the creeps who go in those and how filthy their ass and sack area is.
