Several Sunday events on the UWS this weekend will result in street closures, and any cars left on the streets will be towed. A massive march to raise awareness about climate change is being held on Sunday, and people will be gathering beforehand on the Upper West Side. That means several street swill be closed and police will begin towing cars on Saturday night. The info in the bottom right of the poster above is hard to read, but it’s also included below.

Also on Sunday, there will be a street fair on Columbus from 66th to 86th streets, and Bloomingdale Family Days on Amsterdam from 106th to 110th. This city website lists street closures throughout the city (though sometimes it misses a few). If we’re missing any other events and closures, let us know. Oh, and just to keep things fun, the U.N. is in town this week!

The info below about the climate march is from Council Member Helen Rosenthal’s office:

ADVISORY The UWS is proud to host the CLIMATE MARCH.

However, that means there will be CROWDS of people and BUSES and some STREET CLOSURES.

Please help spread the word so no one has their CAR TOWED. The UWS is proud to host the CLIMATE MARCH.However, that means there will be CROWDS of people and BUSES and some STREET CLOSURES.Please help spread the word so no one has their CAR TOWED. Cars must be off the street for Sunday use:
