NYC Officials Envision Turning Fifth Avenue Into A Grand Boulevard

Manhattan’s famed luxury store row Fifth Avenue is in line for a major makeover.

New York City officials recently unveiled a plan to transform a central portion of the thoroughfare between Bryant Park and Central Park into a more pedestrian-centered boulevard.

They propose doubling the size of sidewalks, reducing traffic lanes from five to three, as well as adding seating areas and hundreds of trees and planters, among other improvements.

The vision is to emulate iconic strolling and shopping boulevards such as the Champs-Élysées in Paris.

What are your thoughts on this proposal?
