"With this new redesign, we are putting the Park' back into Park Avenue and upgrading Midtown Manhattan by providing residents and visitors alike with more usable public space. Our city's public spaces must better serve the public, and my administration has made this a priority through bold infrastructure investments and street redesigns."
"The makeover will make the travel space more comfortable for pedestrians and cyclists. Whether you're walking, biking or just looking for a place to sit and take a break, this project is about making Park Avenue work better for you."
The city is implementing a redesign of Park Avenue to enhance public space by adding greenery, seating, and amenities. The plan, initiated under former Mayor Eric Adams, covers 11 blocks from East 46th to East 57th Streets. It involves removing one vehicle travel lane in each direction to expand medians for seating and plantings. New crosswalks will connect medians, and potential cycling improvements are being studied. The redesign aims to make Park Avenue more welcoming and functional for pedestrians and cyclists.
