the east side proposal makes the least sense to me out of all the ones that we have seen so far
I agree. Itâs also too far away for most people.
and the closest subway is the 4/5/6 at grand central (until the T is built, if ever) .
I still hope to see the Project 42 project get built from river to river.
What is Project 42?
Itâs the planned renovation of Pier 42 and the surrounding area east of the FDR on the East River to be transformed into parkland/greenspace and recreational space currently under construction.
No. It entails closing 42nd St to cars and having bigger sidewalks and a street car.
Yeah, I wouldâve said 42nd St Development, not Project 42, as thats used more for the Pier 42 Project. Itâs not an âactualâ project still, just a proposal.
I think that it was actually named Project 42. It even had a website.
It was Vision42 â not Project 42.
I canât find one relevant to that, whenever Project 42 is searched, it shows more results for the Pier 42 project, but eitherway, any 42nd St project wouldnât bring that much more traffic to the Soloviev site anyways because its still a block south of 42nd st and that end of is it where the FDR off ramp is.
See what I posted above. Itâs been a long time since this was discussed.
At a minimum, Iâd like to see all cross-town streets from Canal to 96th made one-way and limited to one car lane and one bus lane with widened sidewalks and bike lanes.
They should be beautiful boulevards- not traffic-choked warzones.
Remember this is the NYC Casino thread @robertwalpole, not the Pedestrianize NYC thread.
Yes, but the issue arose with Solowâs site being far from the subway.
Well on that subject, decreasing the available transportation (which is currently only vehicular) to that particular site wouldnt resolve that issue. If anything involving transport needs to be addressed, itâs the subway.
@lowkeylion no one said anything about his contributions or time on the forums, you did.
I hope to see an uber-luxury HY Casino in a very tall, iconic hotel with condos above it.
Well we know condoâs are not a part of Wynn/Relatedâs intended proposal, but itâs possible that the tower itself could be tall, I donât know about very tall though.
