For those pushing the 34th Avenue agenda, it seems it's all or nothing. I have questioned the need to have the open streets every day of the year. I enjoy using 34th avenue to bike, walk to farmer's market on Sundays--but often, even in nice weather it is not always that crowded and there is plenty of room to walk the dog, push a stroller, etc. on the sidewalk. The bike lane works fine, as long as cars and people don't stand in the lane. Traffic and congestion on 35th Avenue is worst during the weekday afternoon rush hour, and as schools open and more people start commuting will be a problem in the morning rush as well. Many cities close streets on weekends, perhaps a real study needs to be done to look at the hours to keep the street open with consideration for the impact to traffic on other streets in the neighborhood.
