Reconfiguring Ninth Avenue



Reconfiguring Ninth Avenue


The city is planning to remake seven blocks of Ninth Avenue in 
Chelsea into what officials are billing enthusiastically, perhaps a 
bit hyperbolically, as the street of the future.

The most unusual aspect of the design, which will run from 16th 
Street to 23rd Street, is that it uses a lane of parked cars to 
protect cyclists from other traffic.
