Greenstreets
Launched in 1996, Greenstreets
is a citywide program to convert paved, vacant traffic
islands and medians into green spaces filled with
shade trees, flowering trees, shrubs, and groundcover.
Since 1996, we have planted 2,281 Greenstreets sites throughout the five boroughs.

The care and maintenance of the Greenstreet sites
is essential. The Parks Department currently waters,
weeds, and cleans these sites regularly. However,
a partnership with private entities would help us
provide a level of care for these sites and their
surrounding communities beyond which Parks can provide
alone.
