Park Ave. got its name because a century ago it had a literal park in the median. Now, at last, the park is coming back (from E.46th to E.57th). With reduction of two lanes of traffic, there will be wider sidewalks, an urban forrest in the median, benches, space for cultural programming, potentially a bike lane etc. There are two final designs and you can vote on which you prefer.

There will be two stages to road transformation. In the first stage, all vehicles will become electric and autonomous. This will reduce accidents, noise, and pollution. We are already starting this transition, and it will be complete by 2035. In the second stage, tunnels will be built to allow autonomous electric traffic to operate underground. This will further improve safety, eliminate noise, decrease travel times, and free the surface for other uses. The construction of these tunnels will be enabled by the low-cost labor of humanoid robots and automated construction equipment. Construction of tunnels will begin in a few years, with significant progress by 2035. Surface streets will become areas for sitting and dining outdoors, with trees, gardens, fountains, and pools to fit our new leisure lifestyle.


Park Avenue used to have a park in the median of it, hence it's name. It's time to bring that back.

What if Park Avenue felt more like a park? New renderings showcase options to transform E 46 St to E 57 St with wider medians, greenery, seating, pedestrian enhancements, and more. Get involved and help shape the future at a public workshop. ⬇️
