A new proposal would make one of the busiest streets in Manhattan less filled with traffic and more pedestrian-friendly.It’s an iconic corridor: Fifth Avenue is known for its luxury stores and during the holiday season- it’s packed crowds.
Adams' plan preserves two lanes for buses and reduces the number of lanes for private vehicles from three to one.People walk along Fifth Avenue during the Open Streets program on December 18, 2022 in New York City. While some have tossed around the idea of a pedestrian-only corridor, Dan Biederman, President of the Bryant Park Corporation says that it will be important to maintain at least some sort of private car access.
