Comments on: Model City for Healthy Living – Manhattan http://newurbanmom.com/model-city-for-healthy-living-manhattan/ Helping our families and businesses to thrive the "new urbanism" way Sun, 06 Jun 2010 02:19:31 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Dave Reid http://newurbanmom.com/model-city-for-healthy-living-manhattan/comment-page-1/#comment-590 Dave Reid Tue, 12 Aug 2008 21:16:06 +0000 http://newurbanmom.com/?p=570#comment-590 Great take on why programs like "Summer Streets" are so important. That quote about "downtown" being scary is so commonplace, I've been told it many a time. But oddly downtown is actually clean, safe an fun! So hopefully this is one of many was to re-introduce the city to the suburbs. Great take on why programs like “Summer Streets” are so important.

I love how you can walk anywhere in Manhattan, and this is good news for me! Moving back to New York in a few weeks, so I'm excited to see this in person. Thanks for great post!

I didn't even know this and I live about 30 min outside of Manhattan. I haven't been to Manhattan since before David Dinkins was mayor just because of the congestion and the over all noise level of the city. Since I am from a small suburban city, honestly, Manhattan is just too busy for me. But "summer streets" - sounds like a good plan! CeeCee Wow.
