NYC DOT Launches Design Competition For Temporary Plazas In Times Square, Initiates Capital Design Process For Permanent Improvements
New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan today launched a design competition, sponsored in partnership with the Times Square Alliance (TSA), for conceptual designs to refresh the temporary plazas at Times Square and also initiated a separate design process for a permanent, capital reconstruction project for the area under the City’s Design and Construction Excellence program. These initiatives mark a new stage in the effort to remake Times Square following Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg’s decision last month to make permanent the five pilot plazas created under the Green Light for Midtown project. By refreshing the temporary treatments now in place on Broadway from 47th to 42nd Streets with a series of economical, temporary surface treatments, the City will ensure these places remain vibrant, inviting and dynamic as the longer design process moves forward to transform these spaces permanently. Professional artists and designers may submit designs. Simultaneously, the capital process will begin to design world-class plazas with ample seating, new paving and underground infrastructure able to accommodate and enhance the signature events that are staged at Times Square throughout the year. The project will also completely reconstruct the roadways in Times Square, which have not been structurally repaired in decades.

NYC DOT Launches “You The Man” Ad Campaign On Eve Of Super Bowl Weekend To Reduce Drunk Driving In New York City
New York City Department of Transportation Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan and Deputy Mayor for Operations Edward Skyler today announced the launch of “You The Man,” a new, multiplatform marketing campaign aimed at reducing driving while intoxicated (DWI) in New York City. Released following a record-low year for traffic fatalities in 2009 and in anticipation of the many citywide celebrations and gatherings for Sunday’s Super Bowl, the targeted campaign encourages New Yorkers to plan to have a designated driver before they embark on a night on the town—or to be a designated driver for their friends. The campaign is designed to appeal specifically to men ages 21-39, who in 2008 were responsible for 63% of alcohol-related crashes in New York City. While the campaign’s launch is timed to the nation’s most-watched sporting event, its humorous messaging works year-round with campaign visuals featuring messages written on drink coasters on a bar or a household coffee table, asking New Yorkers to “Be the Man. Be the Designated Driver.” Campaign ads will be featured online, on outdoor signs and billboards, in bars and on 100,000 coasters distributed by Heineken USA and its local partner Phoenix/Beehive Beverages at establishments citywide and on local radio for the next year, with increased visibility around celebratory holidays and events such as the Labor Day, Memorial Day and 4th of July holidays and New Year’s Eve. Commissioner Sadik-Khan unveiled the campaign with Taxi and Limousine Commissioner/Chair Matthew W. Daus and New York Giants defensive lineman Chris Canty at ESPN Zone, a premier sports viewing and entertainment venue on Broadway and 42nd Street in Times Square, which will be showing Sunday’s big game.
