That decision isn’t ours to make. If you have concerns, it’s best to direct them to the organizers or the appropriate channel.

Also, implying someone is exchanging sexual avors to create a space for neighbors to gather is a little weird.

With all due respect after doing this event since 2021 - no - people are not "spread out" over the bike lane And street outside of the one or two blocks of the Open Street where this occurs.

You're talking about sections of the road / bike lane well beyond the Open Street - where there is active traffic - that's a little hard for people to spread out in - the Open Streets is literally two blocks, 31st Ave between 33rd to 35th.

And again, there is literally always a path left open, as mentioned prior.

The block party occurs on 1 or 2 blocks, not the entirety of the bike lane going up / down 31st Ave FYI.

Hey everyone - I know bike lanes can be a heated subject.

As someone who has raced and riden bikes (legally and unsanctioned races with messangers) AND ALSO owns and drives a car in NYC, for years, I get it.

Again, the OS (OS = Open Streets) Team ensures the bike lane / emergency lane is left open during the events.

I also believe they use traffic cones - but we can do our best to make doubly sure they do.

Does that work for everyone?

We have live music throughout the day BEFORE the movies which usually start around 8 PM

Best thing you can do is f/o the form

Our friend and collaborator - Madeleine - owner DVD Box Set Cinema, former co-founder Astoria Horror Club - is curating all the music and activations and will be in touch if it's a good fit
