STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — A stretch of Forest Avenue in West Brighton will be closed to traffic on Saturday as part of the New York City Summer Streets program. More than a half-mile of the busy commercial strip between Broadway and Bard Avenue will be open only to pedestrians and cyclists from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The NYC Summer Streets program is returning to all five boroughs "with more streets than ever before," the NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) said. To celebrate New York City’s 400th anniversary, over 400 blocks of car-free fun, fitness, and live entertainment will be available for people to enjoy.
