NYC will flip the streets from Halloween to the marathon in just a few hours. Here’s how

The article reports that New York City will have just eight hours between the end of the Halloween parade and the start of the marathon, with expected crowds of 80,000 participants in costume and 2 million spectators for the former, and 60,000 runners and 2.5 million fans for the latter. For Chinese readers living in the US, especially those in New York City, this means the streets will be unusually busy during the events. The article also notes that hundreds of sanitation trucks and workers will be involved in preparing the streets for the crowds and their aftermath. It does not mention effects on visas, jobs, income, prices, education, or family life.
