July 24, 2024 | admin

The upcoming Flatiron plaza redesign should include an expansion of the public space and measures to make it safer for pedestrians, according to locals at a workshop dedicated to gathering ideas for the area’s redevelopment.

Participants huddled over printed maps of the plaza on Tuesday, pitched ideas and sounded off about the permanent redesign of the Flatiron pedestrian plaza, which stretches from 23rd Street to 25th Street and is centered around the intersection of Broadway and Fifth Avenue.

Among the main points that emerged were a need for more separated bike lanes, street crossings that are less confusing, and according to several participants, the city needs to go all in to make it the plaza even bigger.
