City Proposes Park Avenue Redesign

The proposed redesign of Park Avenue could bring back lush green spaces to the iconic corridor’s medians. The city’s Department of Transportation (DOT) unveiled two potential plans to overhaul an 11-block stretch from East 46th to East 57th Streets, both of which would widen the medians and remove one traffic lane in each direction to create pedestrian space. Renderings released on Wednesday show expanded sidewalks, additional trees, benches, and bike lanes in one of the proposals. To gain feedback from New Yorkers, DOT released an online survey seeking public feedback for both design concepts.

The city is gathering comments from the public on the two design concepts and potential elements, like plantings, seating, and pedestrian and bicycling spaces. You can find the survey here.

“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,” Mayor Zohran Mamdani said.

“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,” he added. “Working together with our partners across the City and State, we will ensure that NYC’s streets are the envy of the world.”

This iconic portion of Park Avenue sits above the Grand Central Terminal train shed, which is currently undergoing a major capital rehabilitation led by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s (MTA) Metro-North Railroad and requires the removal of the existing medians.

While the medians are already heavily planted, they are narrow and offer limited space for people to linger. Many may also be surprised that the redesign is not entirely new, but instead would return the avenue to an earlier configuration that featured more pedestrian space and less room for vehicles. In fact, the original park along the median gave the avenue its name, according to the New York Times.

The proposed redesigns were shaped by community engagement, including public surveys, stakeholder interviews, workshops, and meetings with community boards and local organizations. Throughout the process, participants expressed support for expanded public space, improved accessibility, and a more pedestrian-centric streetscape.

Park Avenue’s redesign effort began in 2018 with a competition sponsored by the Fisher Brothers to reimagine the corridor’s medians. Participants submitted ideas ranging from an aquarium to a High Line-style walkway. The winner, “Park Park,” envisioned a series of raised platforms designed to host concerts, art galleries, a restaurant, and more, as 6sqft previously reported.

In January 2022, City Council Member Keith Powers announced new plans to revitalize Park Avenue’s medians. The initiative aimed to gradually transform the avenue’s malls into “new, world-class, active open space” over a 20-year period as Metro-North continues work on the train shed.

In August 2024, DOT released a request for proposals (RFP) seeking designs to transform the traffic medians on Park Avenue between East 46th and East 57th Streets with more green space and pedestrian-friendly areas.

Last June, the DOT selected landscape architecture firm Starr Whitehouse to lead the project.

Additionally, the agency will host public events over the coming weeks to gather feedback. The first meeting was held on April 29, and the next meeting will be on May 2 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at St. Bartholomew’s Church.

The DOT will also hold a virtual meeting with Manhattan Community Board 6 on May 4 at 7 p.m., followed by another session on May 28, with additional details to be announced.

The project is part of a broader effort to expand public space in Midtown, launched under former Mayor Eric Adams’ administration. Another major initiative underway is a plan to revamp Fifth Avenue from Bryant Park to Central Park.

Poised to be the first major alteration to the famed retail corridor in its 200-year history, city officials have described the vision for the boulevard as a grand shopping street similar to the Champs-Élysées in Paris and Ginza in Tokyo, as 6sqft previously reported.

The Monthly Update - May 2026

How to Price in New York City Real Estate

Since around 2015, when sellers were enjoying one of the strongest sales markets Manhattan has ever seen, the overall trajectory of real estate has been flat to slightly down. That shift has made pricing more important than ever. That’s not to say you shouldn’t have great photography, strong marketing across every platform, and consistent open houses so buyers and brokers know your property is available—but pricing is the single most important marketing tool. It determines whether a property sells… or sits.

Unlike the stock market, where price discovery happens in seconds, real estate can take weeks or even months to validate a listing price—and mistakes can be expensive. Many sellers believe they can “list anywhere” and find the right buyer, but that’s a misconception. Price is the catalyst. Using it correctly to generate interest and drive offers is the most critical factor in selling in New York City.

Recent analysis of Manhattan condos tells the story. Most listings sell at an average of about 7% below their asking price. However, when a property is priced in line with the market, it typically sells at just under 3% below ask. And when listings fail to sell and linger, they can ultimately transact at 18% below perceived market value. In other words, properties eventually align with the market—and aspirational pricing often becomes disqualification in disguise. There’s also a psychological component. Listings that sit too long become labeled as “stale.” When there are no inquiries, no offers, and empty open houses, both sellers and buyers begin to wonder, “What’s wrong with this property?” That perception can be hard to overcome.

It’s important for sellers to recognize that buyers are the true experts in the market. They have real skin in the game and access to all the tools available. More importantly, they are physically touring comparable properties and evaluating them in real time. If a property is mispriced, buyers immediately recognize it in the context of its competition—and move on.

Everything comes back to price. Price determines activity, activity determines offers, and offers determine success. If everything is aligned, this process should begin to take shape within 30 to 45 days of being on the market.

The broader market climate also plays a role. In a strong seller’s market, there’s a bit more room for aspirational pricing. But in today’s environment—which has been more balanced or even buyer-leaning for the better part of the last decade—precision matters more than optimism. Sellers need to understand current pricing trends and position their property accordingly.

Timing is another critical factor. Historically, the majority of transactions occur between March 1 and June 15, more than any other time of year. The market tends to cool from mid-July through August, then picks up again after Labor Day. That said, even timing must be viewed through the lens of current conditions. For example, what is typically a strong spring kickoff around March 1 can be delayed by external factors like political uncertainty, rising interest rates, or global economic concerns. In some years, momentum doesn’t truly begin until mid-April. Sellers need to be aware of both seasonality and current market dynamics when deciding when to launch.

If a property misses the mark on pricing, timely adjustments are critical. Listings that are priced correctly and sell within the first 30 days often have little to no negotiability. Between 30 and 60 days, that gap widens slightly to around 2%. Between 60 and 90 days, it can reach 5%, and between 90 and 120 days, closer to 7%. Beyond 120 days, discounts of 10% or more from the original asking price are not uncommon. That’s why it’s so important to adjust quickly—ideally within the first 30 days—so the listing can still benefit from the momentum of being “new” to the market. A well-timed price adjustment can re-engage buyers and reposition the property with a refreshed sense of value.

Ultimately, this is what brokers try to convey to their sellers. The goal is aligned: to achieve the highest price in the shortest amount of time. Selling within 30 days is not a negative outcome—it’s often where the strongest offers live. Mispricing, on the other hand, compounds over time, and the market will always correct it.

You can’t force the market—but you can absolutely engineer the right outcome through pricing.

Smorgasburg To Open In Central Park

Smorgasburg’s 16th season may be its biggest yet. The long-running open-air market, which originated in Williamsburg, announced it is expanding to Central Park next month. Starting May 14, over 25 vendors will set up at the Columbus Circle entrance of the park. The new Smorgasburg location comes as the company prepares to open a new 32,000-square-foot Pan-American restaurant on Governors Island.

All Of 72nd Street To Get Crosstown Protected Bike Lane

The city will install a crosstown protected bike route that runs the entire length of 72nd Street in Manhattan. The Department of Transportation (DOT) this week unveiled plans for a two-way protected bike lane from Riverside Drive to York Avenue, connecting the Upper West Side and Upper East Side through Central Park. The transportation committee of Manhattan Community Board 7 on Tuesday passed a resolution in support of the West 72nd Street redesign, which could begin later this spring. DOT will present plans for the east side of the street to Community Board 8 this fall.

Existing protected bike lanes on the Upper West Side run north and south on multiple avenues, but do not currently connect the neighborhood to Riverside Park or Central Park. Improving the “crosstown cycling connection” to Central Park was identified as part of a 2024 study of the park’s drives and circulation.

According to the city, the West 72nd Street protected bike lane would create a dedicated space for cyclists traveling east and west and “improve overall traffic safety without causing significant spillover traffic to neighboring streets.”

“Creating a protected, two-way bike lane on 72nd Street will finally deliver a safe, seamless crosstown connection between the Hudson River Greenway, Central Park, and the East Side Greenway—filling a major gap in Manhattan’s cycling network,” NYC DOT Commissioner Mike Flynn said.

“Designs like this make our streets safer for everyone, whether you’re biking, walking, or driving. This proposal reflects our commitment to safer streets and meets the growing demand for cycling, making it easier for New Yorkers of all ages and abilities to get across Manhattan safely.”

Currently, West 72nd Street has four lanes of traffic and two lanes of parking. The project redesigns the street to allow for a nine-foot, two-way bike lane on the north side of the curb from Riverside Boulevard to Central Park West. This would require the repurposing of 27 parking spaces on the east side of Riverside Boulevard between 68th Street and 71st Street and the removal of 10 parking spots on West 72nd Street.

The project would also include painted curb extensions and improved visibility at intersections and add a new bus boarding island for the M72 to West 72nd Street and Central Park West.

During Tuesday’s meeting, DOT urban planner Patrick Kennedy said double parking is a big issue on this corridor, creating dangerous conditions for cyclists. If the travel lane is reduced to just one in each direction, the city believes this will prevent double parking.

The meeting drew a big crowd, with over 150 people signed up to testify. Several business owners expressed concern about the project’s effect on curb access for daily deliveries, and other residents said they did not feel adequately informed of the redesign.

Council Member Gale Brewer told Gothamist she received complaints from local businesses about the plan and is worried about people who need to access the Islamic Cultural Center at 72nd Street.

“There’s double parking, triple parking sometimes. I’ve personally spent hours trying to get the triple parking to go away,” Brewer told Gothamist. “I don’t know if you’ve ever been around a mosque, but there are people who come in to pray five times a day.”

DOT’s plan would require deliveries at designated loading zones, located in the parking lane. The city said it would also update curb regulations to encourage “turnover of parking spaces in high-demand areas.”

The community board had previously supported the two-way protected bike lane and passed a resolution in favor of the redesign in 2020.

The city could begin installation of the bike lane on the west side of 72nd Street in late spring or early summer of this year. DOT will present a similar plan to Community Board 8 in the fall of 2026.

Plans Filed For A 95-Story Supertall Next To Grand Central

After receiving approval five years ago, a plan to build a supertall next to Grand Central Terminal is moving forward. Last week, RXR Realty filed the first permits for a 95-story tower at 175 Park Avenue, the site of the former Grand Hyatt Hotel, which the City Council approved in 2021 as part of the hotel’s redevelopment. The project is 12 stories taller than previously reported and would include office space and hotel rooms spanning nearly 3 million square feet. The tower had appeared stalled but was revived last month after RXR met with JPMorgan clients to gauge interest in funding the project, which the firm says is expected to cost $6.5 billion, according to Crain’s. Construction could begin in June.

RXR is developing the project with TF Cornerstone, and the supertall tower will be designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM). Office space would occupy floors 10 through 82, while hotel rooms would be located above. A bar is planned for the fourth floor, and retail space would be located on the third floor. Bike storage would be included on a lower level.

According to SOM, the tower’s design will respond to the mix of nearby New York City landmarks and architectural styles, ranging from Romanesque Revival to Art Deco, channeling the ethos of those aesthetics while establishing its own identity. Renderings show a striking crown of interlaced steel inspired by the Chrysler and Socony-Mobil buildings, two of its most prominent neighbors.

Characterized by strong verticality that emphasizes its height, the tower will feature three setbacks to create landscaped terraces with 360-degree skyline views. The setbacks will also divide the building into four sections with varying floor sizes, including larger floor plates near the base and smaller spaces toward the top, just below the hotel.

Wrapping the building will be 24,000 square feet of new open space, creating vantage points of nearby landmarks and offering a respite from the surrounding streets. The three elevated spaces along the podium will be seamlessly connected and include the Chrysler, Grand Central, and Graybar terraces.

The Chrysler Terrace would feature a reflecting pool, plantings, and public seating, with retail space below. Notably, the Grand Central terrace would allow travelers to stand alongside the east facade of the terminal for the first time, according to a January presentation to the Public Design Commission (PDC).

At the base of the tower, 5,400 square feet of new space would be added to Grand Central to ease congestion in the heavily trafficked portion of the terminal. Existing subway turnstiles would be relocated to a larger street-level transit hall with a new staircase, elevator, and escalator. The transit hall would connect directly to the building’s lobby and include an additional 10,000 square feet of retail space.

The developers have applied for $4.8 billion in federal loans to help fund the project, but have yet to be awarded the money. Securing the funding may depend on RXR’s ability to secure a tenant willing to lease at least 500,000 square feet in the tower, though none have yet expressed interest.

Last month, RXR met with JPMorgan executives at One Vanderbilt in hopes of securing funding, walking investors through its financing strategy and leasing plans, according to Hoodline. Both firms declined to comment on the meeting.

An RXR spokesperson said construction is expected to begin in June.

Keith Haring’s Iconic Art Cars Headed To NYC Gallery

Two of celebrated street artist Keith Haring’s iconic art cars will be rolling into New York City for the first time. Opening on Friday, the exhibition “Keith Haring: In the Street” will display the artist’s 1963 Buick Special and a Land Rover Series III from the 1983 Montreux Jazz Festival, for 10 days only. On view from April 10 to 19 at the CART Department gallery, Free Parking, the exhibit celebrates the new book, “Keith Haring in 3D” from Larry Warsh and Glenn Adamson. The exhibition also marks the first show for Free Parking, a 3,000-square-foot gallery inside a West Village carriage house.

This rare view of Haring’s three-dimensional work will include original works and photographs, accompanied by events and appearances by artists, writers, and others in Haring’s orbit.

On April 11, “Stories from the Street” offers a conversation between choreographer Muna Tseng and culture critic Carlo McCormick about 1980s downtown New York City. A kick-off party for the event, featuring G-Bo The Pro, will begin at 2 p.m.

On April 18, Brad Gooch, author of “Raidant: The Life and Line of Keith Haring,” will be in conversation with Larry Warsh on his new book.

The exhibition also celebrates the upcoming “Keith Haring Exhibition in 3D,” which will open in June at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas.

“Keith Haring: In the Street” will be at Free Parking at 16 Morton Street from April 10-19. Gallery hours are 12-6 p.m.; panels require an RSVP.

To go even deeper, check out a major exhibition of Haring’s work at the Brant Foundation‘s East Village space through May 31. The exhibition, which features pieces that predated the artist’s rise to fame, brings the work back to a neighborhood that inspired Haring’s artistic upbringing.

New Times Square Observation Deck, 19 Floors Above Broadway

You’ve probably never seen Times Square like this before. One Times Square, home of the New Year’s Eve Ball, opened a new observation deck this week that puts visitors 19 floors above Broadway, at the center of one of the world’s most iconic destinations. Dubbed the Times Square Skywalk, the new experience provides a unique perspective of the city from a 360-degree wraparound viewing deck, offering peeks of both rivers, Central Park, and the crowds below. The skywalk is part of a broader $500 million redevelopment of One Times Square, which opens up most of the building to the public for the first time in 50 years.

Upon arriving at One Times Square on Broadway and 42nd Street, visitors will ascend to the 19th floor on a glass-enclosed elevator. On this level, guests can get an up-close look at elements of the New Year’s Eve ball drop, including the Centennial Ball, which rang in the 100th anniversary of the Times Square Ball drop tradition in 2007, and the seven-foot-tall New Year’s Eve Numerals.

Visitors can also write their wishes on a piece of confetti that will be dropped during the next ball drop.

Outside, the viewing deck offers 360-degree views of Manhattan and beyond. A glass-floored walkway provides a birds-eye view of Times Square below.

“The Times Square Skywalk allows visitors to experience the magic and excitement of Times Square from a new vantage point,” Delfin Ortiz, general manager of One Times Square, said.

“We’re thrilled to share this elevated perspective of the Crossroads of the World and give visitors the chance to connect with the history, joy, and wonder of the New Year’s Eve celebration year-round.”

Tickets to the Times Square Skywalk Experience start at $30. A discounted ticket offer will be available to New York City residents.

One Times Square first debuted the skywalk last December as part of a limited preview. In February, the building opened iCandy NYC, a Big Apple-themed candy installation.

Other experiences will open in the coming months, including a multi-floor interactive museum exploring the history of One Times Square, the neighborhood, and the storied New Year’s Eve celebration. As 6sqft previously reported, the NYE ball that was retired last year will be on display with its predecessors as part of the new experience. One Times Square will also be home to EVER, a venue that will host weddings, vow renewals, proposals, and “all kinds of celebrations of love.”

Built in 1904 as the headquarters for the New York Times, the 26-story One Times Square was one of the tallest towers in the city when it opened. The building, which has served as the centerpiece of the New Year’s Eve Ball Drop since 1907, has been vacant for years, with only billboards covering its exterior.

Jamestown, which has owned the property since 1997, kicked off a $500 million redevelopment of the building in 2022 to turn it into a year-round tourism destination and visitor hub.

The Monthly Update - April 2026

Manhattan Real Estate Market – Q1 Overview

The first quarter of the year has unfolded largely in line with seasonal expectations, but with several notable dynamics shaping the market—most prominently tight inventory, resilient (but picky) buyer demand, and a strong luxury sector.

On the supply side, Manhattan entered the year from a historically low starting point. Inventory declined sharply through late December and early January, at one point dipping below the 5,000 listing threshold, a level not seen in several years. Since then, supply has begun its typical seasonal rebuild, gradually climbing back into the mid-5,000 range. However, despite this upward trend, overall inventory remains consistently 5% to 10% below prior-year levels and below the five-year average for this time of year. While new listings have started to come online, the pace has been uneven, with some “choppiness” in weekly releases. As a result, the market continues to operate in a constrained inventory environment heading into the spring season.

On the demand side, the in-contract market followed its usual winter slowdown before gaining traction through February and into March. The rolling 30-day pace of buyer activity rebounded meaningfully from its January lows, with contract signings frequently reaching the 200–250 per week range, and in some cases exceeding prior-year weekly levels. While overall demand has, at times, trailed last year’s pace, the trend line is clearly upward. Notably, several strong weekly surges suggest pent-up demand—likely driven by earlier weather disruptions and a lack of available inventory. At the same time, tight supply has begun to act as a limiting factor, preventing contract activity from fully accelerating to peak spring levels. As inventory builds, this constraint may ease, allowing demand to express itself more fully.

The luxury market ($4M+) has been a standout performer throughout the quarter. Weekly contract volume has remained robust, often ranging between 30 and 40+ deals, with multiple weeks exceeding historical norms. Activity at the $10M+ level has been particularly strong, including several weeks with double-digit “trophy” transactions. February saw a meaningful increase in total dollar volume, driven by higher-priced deals rather than just transaction count. New development has played a critical role in this segment, with projects such as 1122 Madison demonstrating strong absorption, multiple contracts signed off floorplans, and even upward price adjustments. Despite broader macroeconomic headwinds—including rising interest rates, geopolitical tensions, and equity market volatility—the luxury sector has shown remarkable resilience and pricing power.

Key Takeaways

Overall, the Manhattan market enters the spring season with a tight but improving supply backdrop, steadily strengthening demand, and a highly active luxury segment. The primary variable to watch in the coming weeks will be the pace at which new inventory comes to market. If supply accelerates as expected, it should unlock additional transaction volume and support a more active and competitive spring market. If not, continued inventory constraints may temper the full potential of buyer demand.

In short, the foundation for a strong spring market is in place—but its ultimate strength will depend on whether supply can catch up to demand.

New Protected Two-Way Bike Lane From The Brooklyn Bridge To Union Square

New York City has begun a series of bike lane and pedestrian space upgrades that will add a safer link between the Brooklyn Bridge and Union Square. On Wednesday, DOT Commissioner Mike Flynn announced the start of work in Noho, the East Village, and Union Square, including a continuous north-south bike connection from the Brooklyn Bridge to Astor Place and Union Square. Officials say the most significant improvements will be completed before the FIFA World Cup in July, when the already busy area is expected to see a surge in visitors.

The plan, presented to Manhattan Community Board 2 on Tuesday evening, would deliver a continuous parking-protected two-way bike lane between Prince Street in Soho and 15th Street in Union Square, along Lafayette Street as it becomes Fourth Avenue, where there is currently only a one-way northbound lane.

On Lafayette Street, from Prince Street to East 8th Street, the existing five-foot-wide, one-way protected bike lane will be widened to an 11-foot-wide, two-way protected lane. The number of northbound travel lanes will also be reduced from two to one, and turn lanes will be added.

“These world-renowned destinations draw thousands of visitors on a given day and are expected to see increases this summer as the World Cup begins,” DOT Commissioner Mike Flynn said.

“This plan will deliver a host of upgrades for pedestrians and cyclists from the East Village to Madison Square, improving safety and creating a more welcoming experience for pedestrians.”

Proposed redesign of Lafayette Street from Prince to East 8th Streets

An “amenities zone” will also be created between the bike and parking lanes, providing space for cargo and bike parking, trash receptacles, and landscaping, while keeping bike lanes clear and pedestrians off the sidewalk. The redesign of Lafayette will require relocating the existing Citi Bike station just south of the Astor Place intersection, moving it into the roadway.

By widening the bike lane, the redesign shortens the time it takes pedestrians to cross vehicular traffic, changes that have been shown to reduce deaths and serious injuries for pedestrians by 31.7 percent.

Proposed redesign of Fourth Avenue from East 9th to East 13th Streets

On Fourth Avenue, from East 9th to East 13th Street, the existing five-foot-wide, one-way protected bike lane will be widened to an 11-foot-wide, two-way protected lane, reducing the number of northbound travel lanes from three to two and adding turn lanes.

Proposed redesign of Park Avenue South from East 14th to East 15th Streets

Additionally, on Park Avenue South between East 14th and East 15th Streets, the agency will convert the existing one-way bike lane into a two-way, concrete barrier-protected bike lane.

The redesign will also connect to the existing two-way bike lane north of East 15th Street at Union Square and reduce the number of northbound travel lanes from two to one between East 14th and East 16th Streets. Additional roadway space will facilitate easier pick-ups and drop-offs.

The upgrades also include a two-way bike connection from the Brooklyn Bridge to the Flatiron District via Lafayette and Centre Streets and along Fourth Avenue as it becomes Broadway. Similar street redesigns have been shown to improve safety, reducing traffic deaths and serious injuries by 30 percent for all road users, according to a press release.

Proposed redesign of Astor Place between Broadway and Lafayette Streets

The agency will also install a two-way bike lane on Astor Place between Broadway and Lafayette to better connect cyclists traveling on Broadway and Lafayette Street, while adding standard bike lanes on East Eighth Street for riders heading east.

Later this year, DOT will reinforce the existing westbound protected bike lane on 13th Street between Broadway and Greenwich Avenue with a new concrete curb to address chronic bike lane blocking, with additional upgrades planned.

To improve pedestrian safety, the DOT will expand pedestrian space on the east side of Fourth Avenue below 14th Street, adding painted sidewalk extensions along several heavily congested blocks near Union Square. Later this year and in 2027, DOT will install concrete pedestrian islands between Spring and East 14th Streets along Lafayette Street and Fourth Avenue.

In total, the project includes nine new pedestrian islands, three sidewalk extensions, and a signal study at Jersey Street. Construction of the concrete islands is scheduled for late 2026 and early 2027.

While DOT officials say two-way bike lanes will improve safety for cyclists and pedestrians, some attendees at Tuesday’s Community Board 2 presentation raised concerns about potential risks. They said pedestrians may not be accustomed to looking both ways when crossing a bike lane, which could put them in danger.

Deborah Brook, a resident of the Stewart House at 70 East 10th Street, said “people don’t look the way they’re supposed to look” and warned that placing two lanes running in opposite directions side by side would be a “disaster.” Brook also recommended the agency look into moving the project to Third Avenue.

Hayes Lord, a DOT spokesperson, pointed to future plans for bike lanes on Third Avenue and said the agency is focused on providing protected bike lanes “wherever possible” and wants to “continue to support cycling of all ages and abilities so you don’t have to go over one block,” while acknowledging concerns about safe crossings of two-way bike lanes.

The plan has been developed to complement existing street paving schedules, streamlining operations to improve safety while supporting cycling and helping the city prepare for the World Cup.

“I appreciate Commissioner Flynn and NYC DOT’s continued commitment to safer, more accessible streets in Manhattan,” Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal said.

“These upgrades, including expanded sidewalks near Union Square and strengthened north-south bike connections, will help improve safety and better accommodate the thousands of New Yorkers and visitors who travel through this corridor each day, particularly as the city prepares for increased activity surrounding the World Cup,” he added.

In Hell’s Kitchen, DOT has launched another project expected to be completed ahead of the World Cup, when sidewalk overcrowding in the area is expected to increase. The project will redesign Ninth Avenue from West 34th to West 50th Streets, expanding pedestrian space, widening the protected bike lane, and extending and repainting the bus lane to 50th Street.
