On May 29th Manhattan Community Board 5 unanimously approved a DOT proposal to remove two travel lanes and create a seven-foot wide cycle-track accompanied by pedestrian amenities that encourage sitting and people-watching along Broadway from 42nd Street to 35th Street.

These formerly unremarkable seven blocks will now connect Times Square to Herald Square, and with a bit more work they could connect all the way to the redesigned Madison Square Park and create one of Manhattan's finest public spaces.

Take Action!

Contact the DOT and tell them that their plans for Broadway between 42nd Street and 35th Street and Madison Square Park are so great that they ought to be connected.
