Last summer Mayor Bloomberg converted two lanes of car traffic on Broadway into a pedestrian esplanade and bike lane. The non-car zone currently stretches from 35th Street to 42nd Street, but the mayor recently announced plans to expand his efforts to halt traffic congestion. His "Greenlight for Midtown" project will soon cut some blocks entirely off to cars in order to improve the flow of traffic.
