Magda Sayeg, founder of Knitta, takes knitting out of the home and onto the streets. In Plan Ahead, she intricately weaves a playful message to pedestrians, bikers, and drivers onto an ordinary fence using colorful yarn. The message – to plan ahead – is reinforced by the artist’s choice to shrink the last to letters of the phrase and bend them vertically into only the small bit of space left over at the end of the installation, as if writing in a notebook and running out of space. Plan Ahead directs viewers' attention to Brooklyn's waterfront environment and examines the occasionally contentious, often harmonious relationship between nature and constructed space.

Location: connecting City Island with Rodman's Neck in Pelham Bay Park, Bronx NYC
Carry: 3 road lanes of City Island Road, with sidewalks
Type: through truss (central swing section was converted to fixed spans in 1963)
Opened: 4 July 1901 (rehabilitated 1977)
Average daily traffic volumes (2008): 16,000
Note: Current bridge to be replaced by a cable-stayed bridge (project scheduled to start in 2011).
Summer Streets takes place on consecutive Saturdays in the summer (the 2011 dates are August 6, 13 and 20) from 7:00 am - 1:00 pm. The 2010 route connects the Brooklyn Bridge with Central Park with recommended connections along low-traffic streets to the Hudson River Greenway, Harlem and Governors Island allowing participants to plan a route as long or short as they wish.
This event takes a valuable public space - our City's streets - and opens them up to people to play, walk, bike, and breathe. Summer Streets provides more space for healthy recreation and is a part of NYC's greening initiative by encouraging New Yorkers to use more sustainable forms of transportation.
Modeled on other events from around the world including Bogotá, Colombia's Ciclovia, Paris, France's Paris Plage, and even New York's own Museum Mile, this event will be part bike tour, part block party, a great time for exercise, people watching, and just enjoying summer mornings.

React, Respect, Intersect was created by two professional artists and a team of youth artists as part of the Groundswell Community Mural Project’s flagship Summer Leadership Institute (SLI). SLI teams spend seven weeks during working with artists and community-based organizations, learning job skills and creating public art throughout New York City. This mural depicts a utopian environment where vehicular traffic, pedestrians of all ages and abilities, bicyclists, skateboarders, and animals respectfully share the street. It focuses not only on traffic and pedestrian safety education, but also site-specific themes and cultural diversity.
The safety education focus of this mural was informed by workshops lead by NYCDOT Safety Education. The artists and youth artists researched safety issues near the mural site which influenced their final design. Speed of vehicular traffic, high levels of carbon dioxide in the air, and the need for all modes of transportation to respectfully share the streets are just a few of the themes beautifully integrated in to this mural.

Playful, surreal narratives designed by artist Carla Torres have been painted onto 715 feet of concrete barrier in Tribeca along the Hudson River Greenway near Pier 25.
Torres’ design is inspired by silhouetted shadow puppets and a narrative based on the longing for spring and the playful energy of the cyclists and pedestrians who use the park on a daily basis.

Jenny Hung’s "City Speed" was selected from a pool of 60 applicants during the fall 2010 Barrier Beautification Open Call. The design is a fusion of two forms: the organic shape of bird wings and the hard edges of the City. Her design was inspired by the stripe pattern found on traffic safety equipment and the colors of birds commonly sighted within the limits of NYC such as the Rock Pigeon, the Red-tailed Hawk, the White-breasted Nuthatch, and the Northern Cardinal. The feathers and wings of each bird were drawn larger than life creating a bold abstract design.
Jenny Hung is a graphic designer and graduate of Rochester Institute of Technology with a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts. Her work values the questioning of presumptions and aims for a deeper understanding of ourselves and our place in the world.
