Construction has begun on pedestrian plazas and shared streets along Broadway in the Flatiron and NoMad areas of New York City. The project is part of a larger scheme called “Broadway Vision,” which aims to redesign the famous street between Columbus Circle and Union Square to prioritize pedestrians over cars. The section of Broadway between 25th and 27th streets will become pedestrian plazas, while between 27th and 32nd streets, Broadway will become a shared street with 5 mph speed limits. The entire stretch will also feature a two-way bike lane and expanded outdoor dining space. The project is expected to be completed by summer 2023.
