Good news, seven blocks of Bedford Avenue will become a pedestrian-only zone again on select Saturdays as Williamsburg Walks returns for the summer.
The Brooklyn Paper reports that cars won't be welcome between Metropolitan Avenue and North Ninth Street on any Saturday during both June and July. Organizer Michael Freedman-Schnapp has teamed up his organization, Neighbors Allied for Good Growth, with the L Magazine for this season, and says, “This is not going be a tube-sock-and-gyro kind of street fair. This is going to be civic space that the community can enjoy." So that's BYO-funnel cakes, people.
Last summer folks got creative and brought things like the Shoot Booth (pictured) to the street, and organizers also recommend hosting barbecues! Coming up on April 27th (7 p.m.) organizers will further discuss plans for this year at the Swingin’ 60s Senior Center.
