Mayor Bloomberg and Department of Transportation Commissioner Sadik-Khan
today unveiled 41,700 square feet of new public space at Madison
Square, bringing new, landscaped pedestrian plazas, bicycle lanes
and a safer and simpler traffic pattern at Broadway from 25th to
22nd Streets - one of the largest non-park public space projects
undertaken by the Bloomberg Administration. Together with new plazas
between Times Square and Herald Square, the projects have converted
over 65,000 square feet of former roadbed along Broadway to enhance
public life and create a more livable city.
