  • In a stunning win for walkers everywhere the New York City Department of Transportation announced yet another round of the NYC Plaza Program.
    In a stunning win for walkers everywhere the New York City Department of Transportation announced yet another round of the NYC Plaza Program. The program is an attempt to close current roadways to vehicles and turn them into pedestrian plazas. The spark that lit the fire was the temporary closing to vehicles -- which has recently become permanent -- of Broadway between Times Square and Herald Square. The program has been quite successful and to many a driver's dismay, another round of proposals is being accepted by the city now.
