It makes a nice counterbalance to the otherwise neverending video stream of cars zooming along highways, and I was pretty surprised to see how busy it was at eleven o'clock on a school night.

I'll be showing this video to my urban planning students in Melbourne, Australia. Keep on showing leadership, folks! This website is a fantastic resource!

How much faster is it for the cars to go down 7th ave? broadway? How much faster is it to walk through times square? How many accidents are happening now compared to the past? Lets see the numbers. It might be that the design is a win for most. The only area that looks like it could be down is the driving from Broadway continuing on Broadway but I don't think that option has been available for some time.
