NYC's Fifth Avenue Goes Car-Free for the first time in over Fifty Years

A very exciting day today in New York City as NYC Dept of Transportation and the Adams Administration open Fifth Avenue to people and closed it to cars. It was an instant success as the streets were already crowded with people before the official opening!

I got to speak with the Commissioner as well as few friends and advocates I ran into also walking the Avenue. I also got some very cool footage that other news stations didn't as I brought a monopod and was able to extend it 10 feet above Fifth Avenue to show just how amazing the visual of throngs of pedestrians (both NYC residents and tourists) out shopping, seeing the holiday decorations, eating and generally strolling for the fun of it with their families.

It's no doubt with such an enormous initial Sunday success, the next two will be equally the same and next year will be bigger, longer and more dates. Here is to hoping!
