Pedals, feet to star on B’way

- Dan Rivoli

THE CITY WILL hand Broadway over to pedestrian­s and bicyclists this month for its third annual Car Free Day.

Cars will be barred Saturday, April 21, from 2 miles of streets on Broadway — from Union Square to Times Square — and also on St. Nicholas Ave. from 181st to 190th Sts.

“We’re giving the streets back to pedestrian­s and cyclists,” city Transporta­tion Commission­er Polly Trottenber­g said.

New York officials adopted the car-free idea from other cities around the world that carve out a day to travel by any other means than automobile.

The city and businesses will host art exhibits, music and activities, such as Hula-Hoop classes at Herald Square, yoga at Union Square and dance classes at Times Square.
