We should just shut down all of Broadway street and turn it into a greenway. 

Broadway runs diagonally through Manhattan, but the surrounding grid of perpendicular streets—both vertical (north-south) and horizontal (east-west)—already provides enough routes for car traffic. cars can easily navigate around Broadway without needing to use it, making it unnecessary for car mobility.

Think of the possibilities! We could transform it into a street-level Highline, would serve as flood resilient infrastructure

Urbanist thinking about open space, open access, and open web

Yessss!! Imagine having something like the Cheonggyecheon river in place of broadway😍

Of course, weighing the cost and considering how many other under resourced neighborhoods in the outer boroughs need green space more— becomes another question

The street paint!! Such a low cost effective intervention

Have you seen the latest updates towards Union Square? Whole lotta work to have it still just be a road (but still better than before!)
