Streetfilms® | Streetopia: Reimagining NYC's West 72nd Street for People, Transit & Bikes @StreetfilmsCommunity | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
The DOT is showing signs lately of getting more stuff done, and here's a proposal they should take a look at: remaking West 72nd Street into a people-first complete street connecting Central Park and Riverside Park.
Streetopia Upper West Side's vision for West 72nd Street includes some core ideas that they believe should guide any changes DOT makes to the corridor. These include:
• Limit through-traffic and give buses priority.
• Explicitly connect Central Park and Riverside Park for pedestrians and cyclists.
• Include a world-class, high-comfort, all ages and abilities cycle track.
• Expand sidewalks and shorten crossing distances at every intersection.
• Add mid-block crosswalks on every block.
• Repurpose the curb lane to serve multiple uses in proportion to needs.
• Plant a lot of trees.
