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. -

History of the City of New York Syllabus
History of the City of New York Columbia University- Fall 2001 Professor Kenneth T. Jackson History 4712 603 Fayerweather Hall Tues. & Thurs. 1:10pm-2:25pm- [email protected] 417 International Affairs Building “The city, the city my Dear Brutus – stick to that and live in its full light. Residence elsewhere, as I made up my mind in early life, is mere eclipse and obscurity to those whose energy is capable of shining in Rome.” Marcus Tullius Cicero “New York City, the incomparable, the brilliant star city of cities, the forty-ninth state, a law unto itself, the Cyclopean Paradox, the inferno with no out-of-bounds, the supreme expression of both the miseries and the splendors of contemporary civilization, the Macedonia of the United States. It meets the most severe test that may be applied to the definit ion of a metropolis – it stays up all night. But also it becomes a small town when it rains.” John Gunther “If you live in New York, even if you’re Catholic, you’re Jewish.” Lenny Bruce “There is no question there is an unseen world; the question is, how far is it from midtown, and how late is it open?” Woody Allen “I am not afraid to admit that New York is the greatest city on the face of God’s earth. You only have to look at it from the air, from the river, from Father Duffy’s statue. New York is easily recognizable as the greatest city in the world, view it any way and every way – back, belly, and sides.” Brendan Behan “Is New York the most beautiful city in the world? It is not far from it. -
