"The new and permanent redesign of the street will provide a new nine-foot 'super sidewalk' with new pedestrian islands at corners. The old protected bike lane will widen from five to nine feet."
"Another half-mile of curbside bus lane will be painted red, which will allow more active enforcement of bus lane violations. The lane will be enforced seven days per week, 7-10 a.m. and 4-7 p.m."
"These changes are meant to be completed before the World Cup this summer, when the agency predicts lots of sidewalk overcrowding on game days as people throng the Port Authority Bus Terminal and nearby Penn Station."
The Department of Transportation plans to redesign Manhattan's Ninth Avenue, enhancing pedestrian space, widening the protected bike lane, and extending the bus lane. This initiative, supported by CHEKPEDS, aims to alleviate sidewalk overcrowding expected during the World Cup. The redesign includes a new nine-foot 'super sidewalk' and improved pedestrian islands. The bike lane will increase from five to nine feet, and the bus lane will be actively enforced. These changes are intended to benefit pedestrians, cyclists, and bus riders in the area.
