The City has decided to close off parts of Broadway where it meets 7th Avenue at Times Square and where it meets 6th Avenue at Herald Square.

This is because there is so much pedestrian traffic there, and the vehicular traffic will (supposedly) move better if it all goes on one avenue, and the pedestrian areas are increased.

This is supposedly temporary, as an experiment. I bet they make it permanent.

LJ is on the money and I'm not sure why she got the thumbs down. Must be haters.

Anyways, this was for the much-anticipated traffic ban on Broadway between 42nd and 47th streets that took effect the week of May 24th..

The city put all the chairs all along Broadway to encourage (more) pedestrians and open up the area.

From what I read in the article, it will run for about 6 months and will also include Herald Square.

So, what did you think of it?
