NYC Department of Transportation Seeks Public Input on Park Avenue Redesign to Enhance Public Spaces
The New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) has unveiled two design proposals to revamp an 11-block stretch of Park Avenue, from East 46th to East 57th Streets. The plans aim to widen medians, add pedestrian spaces, and remove a traffic lane in each direction. The redesign seeks to restore Park Avenue's historical character by reintroducing green spaces and pedestrian-friendly areas. The DOT is gathering public feedback through an online survey and public meetings. The project is part of a broader initiative to enhance public spaces in Midtown Manhattan, with the goal of making the city's streets more accessible and attractive.
