The stewards of Central Park are reviving a long-overdue study to make the greensward safer for pedestrians and cyclists — as calls to redesign the “Wild West” roadways have intensified on the heels of yet another near-deadly collision.
Back to the drawing board. The Department of Transportation has scrapped a redesign of two dangerous avenues in Brooklyn that the agency proposed fixing in 2021.
The current overly wide 10th Avenue terminus will be transformed with shared-street markings, tables, chairs, a bike lane and new pedestrian zones and crosswalks to get walkers from the area around the Whitney Museum to the Hudson River Greenway.
