The NYPD is urging New Yorkers and visitors to take mass transit or bike since Midtown street traffic is expected to grind to a halt.
The United Nations General Assembly is expected, once again, to bring heavy traffic to Manhattan this week.Transit and transportation officials warn this is what you can expect through Sept. 23:“Gridlock Alert Days” have been designated for Sept. 19-23 by the city Department of Transportation. Parking will be permitted on 48th Street between Lexington and Park avenues, 49th Street from First to Fifth avenues, and 50th and 51st streets from Park to Madison avenues.
