Once Tristate succeeds in permanently blocking traffic, this will quickly become some of the most valuable retail real estate in New York. Let's ask the city to cede control of the entire block to Vornado (they own the Manhattan Mall and the Pennsylvania Hotel all ready). Require them to acquire the property on the south side of the street. Mandate an improvement in the quality of the retail and hotel properties. Maybe plant a few trees. Widen and canopy the main pedestrian walkways (as they have in Turin Italy). Can anyone disagree with Tristate’s Penn for Ped’s proposal?
