Thirteen locations along the 4.5-mile highway "could be potentially feasible" to deck over with parks and other public space — but not without further study and funding from the state and federal government.

Covering the movement for better walking, biking, and transit in the five boroughs.
关于我们
Streetsblog connects people to information about how to reduce dependence on private automobiles and improve conditions for walking, biking, and transit — one of the great equity issues of our era. Since 2006, our reporters have broken important stories about efforts to prevent pedestrian injuries and deaths, build out bicycle networks, and make transit more useful. Our writing raises the profile of these issues with policy makers and turns arcane topics like parking requirements and induced traffic into accessible stories for a broad audience. It also centers the importance of transit in creating true equality of mobility. Today, hundreds of thousands of readers rely on Streetsblog and our video production partners at Streetfilms to link into a national movement for transportation reform. Streetsblog USA and New York City are independent of other Streetsblog sites in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Chicago — but all seek to produce original reporting and commentary that aims to change the cars-first status quo on their cities' streets. Streetsblog is a registered trademark (federal registration number 7,276,763) owned by Open Plans. Streetsblog NYC covers the five boroughs of New York and important transportation policy developments in Albany. Starting with our first scoop in 2006, which tallied up the rampant abuse of parking placards, we’ve helped set the agenda for local transportation coverage. We’re read by an influential audience of public officials and ordinary New Yorkers passionate about improving the streets in their neighborhoods. Streetsblog NYC stories have made the case for progressive policy changes that are saving lives (which are disproportionately lost in communities of color), expanding access to affordable transportation options, and creating a more sustainable future for New York. Streetsblog NYC is part of OpenPlans, a 501c3 non-profit organization. We're funded by foundation grants, sponsorships and advertising, and generous donations.

The preliminary data that has been collected since the congestion pricing cameras turned on just over two months ago shows that foot traffic in the zone has increased, and that business is on a general trend upwards. But tell that to the business owners who assume that just because they drive to work means everyone else also drives to visit their stores.
