NYC Open Streets Program Continues at PS 134 in Hollis Through June 2027
The New York City Department of Transportation lists PS 134 Hollis as a Queens Open Streets location operating from April 15, 2026, through June 30, 2027. The listed hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The program is tied to the Hollis school community and scheduled recess-period programming. That means the use of public space around PS 134 is expected to differ during the listed daytime window, with potential effects on school access, students, families, pedestrians and nearby motorists.
What changes around PS 134
The official DOT listing specifically names PS 134 Hollis; it does not describe an Open Streets designation covering all of Hollis. The program is therefore a site-specific listing connected to the school, rather than a broader neighborhood-wide change.
For parents and students, the practical issue is how the area around the school is used during the 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. schedule. Pedestrians and families may encounter a public-space arrangement designed for school-related activity, while motorists traveling near PS 134 may need to account for the program during those hours.
The approved source packet describes potential effects on school access and nearby traffic patterns. It does not document a specific traffic impact, identify a detour, or provide a complete traffic-control plan.
Timeline and remaining details
The listed operating period begins April 15, 2026, and ends June 30, 2027. The DOT Open Streets page is the controlling source in the approved materials for the location, operating dates and hours.
The available DOT information does not identify the exact street segment involved. It also does not state whether the 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. schedule changes on school holidays or recess days. Those details remain unresolved in the current listing.
That distinction matters because the listing establishes a scheduled program at PS 134 Hollis, but it does not by itself establish a permanent street closure. The approved materials also do not support a claim that every street in Hollis is covered.
Local civic context
Queens Community Board 8 materials provide local civic context for transportation and school-capacity issues in the area. The board’s newsletter is corroborating civic documentation, however, and is not a substitute for the DOT project listing.
For now, the next known milestone is the scheduled end of the listed operating period on June 30, 2027. Further information about the street segment, traffic controls and any holiday or recess-day adjustments would be needed to define the program’s day-to-day effects more precisely.
