Paris, London, Stockholm, Copenhagen, etc, all have devoted large areas in the city to pedestrian and biking roads, enabling safer public spaces and room for community.
New York has so many streets, why not occupy some of them for public space and green areas? Starting with the space outside public institutions such as schools, that really could benefit from such enlarged space for community and play. Dangerous street outside school at 7av/2 street, where the sidewalks are overcrowded at pick up time.
