The Central Park Conservancy's report highlights that the over 50 traffic lights in the park are largely ignored by users, prompting a call for their removal.
Elizabeth Smith, the conservancy's president, emphasized that the park should provide a respite from city chaos. She noted, 'The whole purpose of the park is not to be the city.'

Parkgoers have indicated a need for improved conditions, as a survey found that the presence of faster runners and cyclists caused discomfort among pedestrians.
