A Manhattan Crossing

New Yorkers like to say they can walk faster than the crosstown bus. On 34th Street,

buses average about four miles an hour. For those in a hurry, pretty much everyone

here, it’s an icy pace for a crosstown trip. Janette Sadik-Khan, the city’s

transportation commissioner, is proposing an interesting fix for 34th Street.

The city plan would close 34th Street to non-bus traffic in the block between the

Empire State Building and Macy’s. On the rest of the street, cars would move one

way only. It would take getting used to, but for bus passengers, the city says there

are more than 40,000 a day on public, tour or commuter (通勤) buses along 34th Street.

The plan should cut the commute by up to 35 percent.

People in other vehicles or about 10 percent of the human traffic would have to zig - 3 - and zag (锯齿形) to get through this section of the city. It is probably fair to say

that most are not particularly pleased about the whole concept.

So the city needs to answer important questions. Will this unrest mean more traffic

on side streets that are already unbearably crowded? Will deliveries be limited to

the daybreak hours? Will Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Ms. Sadik-Khan be willing to

change or drop the plan if it simply won’t work?

The Bloomberg administration has worked to improve bus traffic around the city. An

experiment to speed up city buses along Fordham Road in the Bronx has already reduced

travel time and increased passengers’ number.

Urban planners have been studying the city’s crosstown problems since the first

traffic jam. Robert Moses at one point proposed a major highway just south of 34th

Street, part of which would go through an office building. The question is still

whether it will really make it easier to operate in Manhattan.
