""My idea is to specifically amplify the main goal, which is putting the 'park' in 'Park Avenue.' A park isn't very good if it's broken up every 100 feet by car traffic.""
""This is our chance to fix this. Design for the traffic that we want in the city and not what the traffic that we have.""
The city Department of Transportation has proposed designs to widen the garden median on Park Avenue, incorporating seating and possibly a bike lane. Street safety advocate Alex Duncan introduced a third option to repurpose an additional lane for pedestrians and cyclists, aiming to create a continuous experience free from car interruptions. Duncan emphasized the need to design for desired traffic patterns rather than existing chaos, advocating for a more pedestrian-friendly environment. Community Board 6 members found the proposal interesting for its potential to improve pedestrian space.
