I hope the conditions have improved somewhat for the pedestrians there. I know how it can be here in Chicago when the rush comes and cars bicycles and people battle it out trying to get from point A to point B safely.

I walk this every day too. I’ve done it so many times, it begins to feel like a video game. How fast can you walk through the oncoming people without bumping into anyone? I’ve gotten quite good. Here are my suggestions:

At one time there was a pedestrian tunnel that connected 6th Avenue Herald Square station with Penn Station under 32nd Street. In the mid-70s there was a proposal to put an accelerated moving sidewalk of the kind that were common in Paris at that time. Accelerated moving sidewalks were far too ambitious for a 1970s NYC that was pulling its horns for a big chill lasting nearly 30 years, but times have changed and what seemed impossible 32 years ago may just be right now. Port Authority personnel may still be around from that time that may remember the proposal. Some research needs to be done on this, but just this one project would do alot to alleviate congestion in a weather free and speedy trip between stations.
