The DOT calls it a “complete street” redesign.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.A nearly 40-block stretch of Third Avenue in Manhattan will be getting a bus-, bike- and pedestrian-friendly makeover beginning next week, the Department of Transportation said Monday.
“This project will be transformational for Third Avenue, prioritizing the safety and mobility of all New Yorkers,” DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez said in a statement Monday. “Building a Complete Street featuring a dedicated bus lane, protected bike lane, and pedestrian islands is about putting people first.”
Those on foot are also being prioritized in the redesign — pedestrian islands will improve visibility at intersections and shorten the time it takes to cross the street.
