The document discusses a pilot program to open Prince Street to pedestrians on Sundays. It aims to address crowding issues by expanding pedestrian space. Under the program, Prince Street between Lafayette St. and Broadway will be closed to vehicles on Sundays from Memorial Day to Labor Day. The street will remain open for pedestrians and cyclists. The DOT and local partners will manage the program and evaluate its effects on pedestrian traffic and local business.
