The pedestrianization of Broadway and University Place has been nice, but more is warranted.

Don’t they have a plan set to pedestrianize Park Avenue? Or am I wrong

Yes. The medians will be widened, but I think it will be over the course of around 20 years because I think they need to rebuild the street over the tracks first.

Pretty sure it’s taking 20 years because they’re doing maintenance on the train sheds underneath, then they need to rebuild the street, then they’ll do the widening, greening etc

That’s correct. The medians are an afterthought.

Does anyone know of an studies out there on how far away most people are from a subway station at any given time in Manhattan?
It seems that a hand-assed plan was adopted for Third instead of this.

A little late to the game but there is a city planning exhibit running through the weekend at Grand Central. It’s interesting, goes back 100 years.

In some ways, Covid has presented a silver lining in that it showed the benefits of pedestrianization. I hope that many of these visions come to fruition. NY’s sidewalks are too small. All street parking on avenues should be eliminated for people and traffic lanes should be dramatically reduced.
