Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue is set for a significant pedestrian-friendly makeover, intending to enhance the shopping experience while reducing vehicle prioritization.
Madelyn Wils stated that the redesign aims to transform Fifth Avenue into a spacious and green corridor, celebrating its 200th anniversary by prioritizing walking over cars.
Mayor Eric Adams’ administration notes the project will be funded through public and private means, with a projected repayment in less than five years.
While the redesign is welcoming, transit advocates express concerns about the potential impact on bus systems and cyclist needs in the area.
