Ongoing Lexington Avenue Pedestrian Safety Improvement Project

Safety improvements for W 72nd St to W 106th St on West End Avenue

Grand Central Terminal is the gateway to midtown for thousands of people a day. The sidewalks on Lexington Avenue between E.42nd and E.45th Streets are overcrowded often leading to pedestrians walking in the street creating an unsafe condition for all users. DOT has proposed installing two painted neckdowns to shorten the crossing distances at E.43rd and E.44th Streets while providing additional pedestrian space, adding a new right-turn only lane on Lexington at E.42nd Street and reconfiguring the bus only lane between E.42nd and E.44th Streets to enhance mobility.

Ninth Avenue-Gansevoort Area

New public space and traffic patterns in the heart of the Meatpacking District

Ninth Avenue between Gansevoort and West 16th Streets runs through the heart of the Meatpacking District up to Chelsea Market. This critical stretch of roadway is receiving upgraded water and sewer lines, and a resetting of its historic cobblestones. In addition, the plazas along it are being reconstructed and designed by a world-class team of architects and landscape architects as permanent amenities. The geometric design, which is influenced by both historic and pragmatic considerations, and has implications for traffic movement throughout the adjacent neighborhoods, was presented for feedback to the Transportation Committee of Community Board 2 on Tuesday September 11, 2012.
