  • F. Vehicular Traffic
    Chapter 9: Transportation (Vehicular Traffic) F. VEHICULAR TRAFFIC EXISTING CONDITIONS STREET AND ROADWAY NETWORK Traffic conditions in the study area vary in relation to a number of factors—the nature of the street and roadway network, surrounding land uses and the presence of major traffic generators, and the intensity of interaction between autos, taxis, trucks, buses, deliveries, and pedestrians. The study area contains five subareas, or zones—Lower Manhattan, the Lower East Side, East Midtown, the Upper East Side, and East Harlem—and each has different street and roadway characteristics along its length. East Midtown, the Upper East Side, and East Harlem are characterized by a regular street grid, with avenues running north-south and streets running east- west. Each of the major north-south avenues—First, Second, Third, Lexington, Park, Madison, and Fifth Avenues—are major traffic carriers. There is just one limited-access roadway, the FDR Drive, which extends around the eastern edge of the study area from its northern end to its southern end. A general overview of the character of the street and roadway network in each of the five zones is presented below. Lower Manhattan is characterized by an irregular grid pattern south of Canal Street. Except for a few major arterials, most streets within the area are narrow with usually just one "moving" lane. Travel is time-consuming and slow along them. Pedestrian traffic often overflows into the street space, further impeding vehicular traffic flow. Water Street and Broadway are the two key north-south streets in this area, and carry two or more effective travel lanes, yet are often difficult to negotiate due to frequent double-parked truck traffic.

  • Restoration of the Conservatory Garden
    RESTORATION OF THE CONSERVATORY GARDEN Celebrating 35 Years of the Women’s Committee THE CONSERVATORY GARDEN | A Women’s Garden In honor of their 35th Anniversary and in collaboration with Central Park Conservancy’s Campaign, Forever Green: Ensuring the Future of Central Park, the Women’s Committee of Central Park Conservancy has committed to raise at least $5 million towards a transformative $10 million initiative to restore the Conservatory Garden, Central Park’s six-acre masterwork of formal garden design, located off Fifth Avenue from 104th to 106th Streets. History Completed in 1937 under Parks Commissioner Robert Moses’ chief landscape architect Gilmore D. Clarke, the Conservatory Garden became Central Park’s only formal garden. The original plans were designed by aptly-named landscape architect M. Betty Sprout, who later became Clarke’s wife. In the latter part of the 19th century, the area originally hosted a small nursery for growing plants for the Park. The name “Conservatory Garden” was adopted in 1898 when a large conservatory (greenhouse) was constructed on the site, featuring then-exotic tropical plants and ornate flower beds. After falling into disrepair, the greenhouse was demolished in 1934 and the exceptional six-acre formal outdoor garden that we now know was conceived and built. Thanks to its original designers and the Conservancy’s substantial 1983 restoration of the Garden’s horticultural elements, the Garden stands as one of the world’s great masterworks of formal garden design. Since its earliest days, horticultural direction has been in the hands of women, including Lynden Miller, who led the 1983 restoration, and long-time Garden curator Diane Schaub.
