Brooklyn, NY--- Johnson Edman Advertising helped plan and execute The Play Street Summer Program allows communities to open up their streets to pedestrians for play on a recurrent basis. This program was created to help combat childhood obesity in New York City. It is a quick and low-cost way to create an active play space that directly targets our city’s most important population: our children. Lisa Everett, Manager of Human Services at the Northeast Brooklyn Housing Development Corporation (http://www.nebhdco.org/) (NEBHDCo) organized weekly events during the summer weeks. "We wanted to invite the kids in the neighborhood to come out and have a good time," Everett said. The main goal is to provide entertainment for school children during the idle summer months, and to also emphasize fitness.
