Fun fact: 70% of folks on 5th Ave are on foot, but they’re squeezing into less than half the space. That’s about to change. 🌳✨

With a $150M boost, 5th Ave’s getting wider sidewalks (+46%!), fewer car lanes, new trees, seating, better lighting, and all-around safer vibes. 🚶‍♀️🌆 #5thAveRevamp

On 96th St., 74% of households are car-free, and 68% rely on public transit, yet buses crawl at just 4 mph during peak hours. The addition of 1.7 miles of new bus lanes will reduce congestion and improve safety for all.
