On November 22, 2013, the NYC Department of Transportation Holiday Construction Embargo will commence and will end on January 2, 2014.
On the first three Saturdays in August, nearly seven miles of New York City’s Streets are opened for pedestrians to play, run, walk, and bike.
Have you ever wondered why New York is so quiet in the winter months? That’s because the Department of Transportation issues an annual Holiday Construction Embargo against outdoor construction in particular parts of the city.
