Streetsblog Theater District Eighth Ave Reconfiguration

Mayor Adams has responded to vigorous complaints from theater goers and theater owners about the difficulty in travel. Inparticular Eighth Ave has been shrunk to accomodate Vision Zero. The mayor is faced with cleaning up-in one small if profit making area the mess caused by the pell mell approach of dispersing the architecture of V 0. Then Commisshioner Sadik Khan brazenly stated at an Eighth St BID meeting that her and Transportation Alternatives' intention was to push through as much of V0 as fast as possible and make it as difficult for any future administration to remove. It was full speed ahead-Damn the torpedos. Chickens are coming home to roost.********https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2024/07/08/mayor-adams-once-praised-eighth-ave-sidewalk-expansions-he-now-wants-to-relook-at?ref=hellgatenyc.com
