Description | The project involves rethinking the Manhattan Bridge's inbound lanes, which have seen a 19% drop in vehicle crossings since congestion pricing began. The plan proposes repurposing some of the bridge's 'absolutely unnecessary' vehicle lanes for bus lanes or bike lanes, and redesigning Canal Street to improve safety and reduce car traffic. The redesign aims to restore the bridge's entrance plaza to a more human-friendly space, including a bike and pedestrian greenway and bus lanes for a new inter-borough bus line. |
