So Scott is finally advocating concrete, specific positive action instead of the usual partisan hot air we've heard in the past?
I'm glad to see it. He might have some potential yet.
It would be nice if instead he "floated the idea", he would actually work to implement it.
Looks like a perfect attachment to the Mayor's congestion pricing
Hope he stands behind this when the flack back starts. Getting stuff done>being popular

Scott Stringer for Mayor! I'm serious -- we need to keep the anti-congestion-pricing people out of the mayor's office.

And here's RPA's official statement: "Borough President Stringer's thoughtful proposal to transform 33rd Street into a pedestrian- and transit-friendly corridor will visually and functionally connect midtown to Moynihan Station and the waterfront."

Here's Transportation Alternatives' official statement on Borough President Stringer's proposal for a pedestrian boulevard: "Just as Moynihan Station will rebuild the nation's busiest transit hub, an adjoining pedestrian promenade would breathe new life into an area with the nation's highest pedestrian traffic."
