Exciting news: NYC’s iconic 5th Ave, from 42nd to 59th St, is going to be reimagined as a safer, less congested, pedestrian-centered blvd that also prioritizes cyclists, mass transit, and the public realm.

This will be a game change for Midtown.

@drvolts God, we need this in DC. Imagine this on Constitution Avenue or 14th street.

@drvolts NYC taking a page from Paris’ book who is also rebuilding the Champs Elysées. Amazing, looking forward to seeing more cities do that.

@werejul @drvolts This would be a great start. Traffic never moves quickly in Manhattan, and *shouldn't*. There's very little good reason for any car to be here in the first place, apart from commercial vehicles and taxis.

So it's about time we started taking back more of the streets back for humans, like Paris and others.
