The city will significantly restrict vehicle traffic around Rockefeller Center and Radio City Music Hall again this year, closing some lanes and in some cases entire streets to allow for more pedestrian space.
The program expands on closures instituted in 2019 to give crowds more room to move around, both on side streets and major avenues.
The closures take effect this Friday, Nov. 26.
