The document discusses how New York City created pedestrian plazas at intersections along Broadway to improve traffic flow while also providing more space and seating areas for pedestrians. It highlights the plazas created at several major intersections, including Times Square, Herald Square, Columbus Circle, and Union Square North, and notes that the plazas supported both vehicular circulation and pedestrian safety and experience. Additional information and case studies can be found on the Project for Public Spaces website.
