New York City plans to transform Fifth Avenue, between Bryant Park and Central Park, into a pedestrian-friendly boulevard. The redesign will expand sidewalks, reduce traffic lanes, and add greenery, seating, and stormwater infrastructure. Set for completion by 2025, the project aims to enhance safety and boost the area’s economic potential by improving pedestrian access and experience.
