Join us for a walk along Broadway. We will explore the history, current conditions, and ideas for full pedestrianization in the future. Since Times Square was pedestrianized in the late 2000s, more plazas and public spaces have opened along Broadway, and more are planned for the future. We’ll walk from Columbus Circle to Union Square, sharing details about the streetscape and our advocacy work for full pedestrianization—a car-free Broadway Linear Park.
Broadway is the heart of New York. From Central Park to Union Square, it stretches 2.3 miles and features five points of interaction or “nodes”: Columbus Circle, Times Square, Herald Square, Madison Square, and Union Square. The “Broadway in Five Acts” plan promotes these nodes as unique destinations.
We hope to see you and welcome your thoughts and ideas as we take the walk together.
