NEW YORK: New York City Mayor Eric Adams today launched a major new visioning process to reimagine Fifth Avenue \u2014 from Bryant Park at 42nd Street to Central Park at 59th Street \u2014 as a safer, less congested, pedestrian-centered boulevard that also prioritizes cyclists, mass transit, and the public realm. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Building on Recent \u201cNew New York\u201d Report and Incredibly Popular, Largest-Ever Holiday Season-Specific Open Street, Vision for Fifth Avenue Will Prioritize Pedestrians, Cyclists, Mass Transit, and the Public Realm. Planning Process Will Bring Together Unique Public-Private Partnership with Stakeholders Across East Midtown and Build on Years of Study of This Crucial Corridor, said a report posted on the Website of the City of New York.<\/p>\n

Bringing together city government and community stakeholders across East Midtown, the process will draw on the years of study of this critical corridor \u2014 one of the world\u2019s leading shopping, office, and tourism destinations and a key economic engine for the neighborhood and the city \u2014 to craft a plan that will make Fifth Avenue more appealing to residents, workers, and visitors with world-class public space.<\/p>\n

The new effort builds on the \u201cNew New York: Making New York Work for Everyone\u201d action plan released last week by Mayor Adams and New York Governor Hochul and on the widely popular, largest-ever holiday season-specific Open Street on Fifth Avenue and around Rockefeller Center, which Mayor Adams visited this afternoon.<\/p>\n

\u201cFifth Avenue is an iconic corridor and an engine of our Midtown economy. But it is also an unmissable opportunity to show the city and the country how world-class public space can help create vibrant central business districts,\u201d said Mayor Adams. \u201cNew York isn\u2019t coming back, New York is back. But New Yorkers don\u2019t sit on our hands \u2014 we will continue to bring everyone to the table, come up with innovative ideas together, and make our city safer, fairer, and more prosperous.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a world-class city and destination, New York City needs a world-class, pedestrian-forward avenue,\u201d said Deputy Mayor for Operations Meera Joshi. \u201cFrom historic Central Park to the iconic Bryant Park, Fifth Avenue has the potential to become an even grander corridor, open to New Yorkers and international tourists alike. I look forward to working with the stakeholders for this important planning process as we design an even more inviting Fifth Avenue.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cReimagining and rebuilding our streets and public spaces is the most effective path toward neighborhood recovery, economic recovery, and long-term sustainability,\u201d said Deputy Mayor for Economic and Workforce Development Maria Torres-Springer. \u201cBuilding on the success of our Fifth Avenue Open Street, we will deliver a world-class boulevard connecting Central Park to Bryant Park and take a critical step towards a \u2018New New York\u2019 and a better, bolder city.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cNew New York\u201d action plan reimagines New York\u2019s business districts as vibrant 24\/7 destinations as a critical goal for the city\u2019s economic recovery, with public realm improvements being one key initiative. Mayor Adams\u2019 holiday season Open Streets plan for Fifth Avenue and the area around Rockefeller Center demonstrated the clear demand for increased pedestrian space and significant benefits for local businesses \u2014 in line with the findings of the New York City Department of Transportation\u2019s (DOT) October 2022 \u201cStreets for Recovery\u201d report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
