"The biggest new thing, because I'm a dog lover, is our new dog area uptown where we are going to hopefully let the dogs of New York run free and play together," DOT Commissioner, Polly Trottenberg told CBS 2's Vanessa Murdock.
A number of free activities and events were to be featured including a zip line and access to the Park Avenue Tunnel. On Saturday, 91 trumpeters were on hand to play musician Craig Shepard's piece 'Trumpet City: Park Avenue' in sync along Park Ave.
The event will continue on August 9 and 16.
