Mayor Eric Adams announced a $152.7 million redesign of Fifth Avenue, aiming to enhance pedestrian access by reducing traffic lanes and widening sidewalks by 46%.
City measurements show that although pedestrians account for 70% of traffic along Fifth Avenue, they receive only 46% of the space, highlighting the need for change.
The plan aims to improve Fifth Avenue's infrastructure for the winter season, making it a pedestrian paradise and accommodating the influx of holiday visitors.
In addition to expanding sidewalk space, the redesign will introduce new lighting and 20 blocks of street trees, contributing to a vibrant urban environment.
