car culture

What version of New York City do we want to come back to after we finally emerge from the pandemic: a city that’s obsessed with car culture, or a better community that’s committed to safe streets and the best mass transit available?

The early 20th century extension of Sixth Avenue and Seventh Avenue South and widening of Houston Street involved momentous but largely forgotten upheavals that still shape how New York gets around today—for good and for ill.

Today we seem no closer to a humane balance on our streets between bikes and motorized vehicles than we did 20 years ago.
