We have to admit, we are beaming! And here’s why: Open Plans led the advocacy effort to restore year-round curbside dining, working alongside restaurant owners, advocates, and partners across the city. For years, we organized, researched, testified, and built the coalition that made today’s win a reality — none of which would have been possible without your support (and the support of our generous Outdoor Dining champions, Peter Frishauf and KC Rice).
Today’s legislation restores what always made sense: businesses can once again use their curbs year-round.
This is more than a restaurant policy. It is a statement about what our streets are for — people, community, and local economies — not just car storage.
This victory belongs to restaurant owners, workers, advocates, and everyday New Yorkers who believe our public space should work for everyone.
If you believe in reclaiming public space for people, please consider supporting this type of work.
