Believe it or not, this campaign is finally picking up steam! We may soon see a completely pedestrianised 42nd Street right through the centre of Manhattan if campaigners finally get their way. This would be great as it would set a much-needed precedent for other prominent American cities as well as become an interesting tourist attraction - for Europeans and Americans alike. City managers accomplished this in Times Square (a section of Broadway in summer 2009) so why not permanently remake 42nd Street into an exclusive pedestrian/tram zone? I personally think it would do wonders to the streetscape, as well as boost economic activity and real estate value in that particular district.Read the full story here:
