“New Yorkers deserve an iconic boulevard that will rival the rest of the world,” said Adams, highlighting the vision for Fifth Avenue as a European-style destination.
Currently, pedestrians account for about 70% of the traffic on Fifth Avenue, yet occupy less than half the avenue’s space, indicating a need for redesign.
The plan proposes to reduce traffic lanes from five to three and increase sidewalk width from 23 to 33.5 feet, enhancing the pedestrian experience.
The redesign aims not only to improve pedestrian access but to stimulate greater economic returns for businesses along Fifth Avenue, which already generates billions.
