The city hopes to add greenery, public seating, concessions, and safer crossings to the avenue.
Mayor Eric Adams and New York City Department of Transportation Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez announced a major step to revamp East 46th Street through East 57th Street on the famous avenue.The effort comes as NYC continues to work on its plan to permanently reimagine Fifth Avenue as a safer, less congested, pedestrian-centered boulevard.
"High-quality public spaces aren't just a luxury - they're a necessity, and they're a vital component of our vision to revitalize commercial corridors like Midtown and build a safer, more affordable, better city for all New Yorkers," Mayor Adams said.
"This street redesign is a key piece of a new vision for East Midtown, and we look forward to identifying a partner to make this vision a reality," Rodriguez said. As the MTA completes its work repairing the Grand Central Terminal Train Shed, Park Avenue will be restored with an expanded median for pedestrians featuring verdant landscaping and seating.----------
