They “broke car culture” on 14th street. Yea!!! Wooo hoo!!! Wait…Isn’t it already broken when 80% of New Yorkers don’t own a car?
The city council of New York banned cars on 14th Street in Manhattan. Now do it on 23rd, 34th, 42nd, 72nd, 86th, 96th, 116th, 125th, 145th, 2nd Ave, Park Ave, Lexington, Madison, 10th Ave, 9th Ave, 8th Ave, Empire BLVD, Atlantic and Flatbush Ave, the Grand Concourse, Northern BLVD, the FDR drive, the west side highway, all of Broadway…you get the point. Where does it end? Charge $25 to get onto any part of NYC simply because it’s a car. Let this be a car free city.
Go for it Speaker Corey Johnson. Good luck!
