Following the successful precedent of the High Lane, the firm Perkins Eastman Architects wants to go further with a project that would transform one of the central streets of the city, instead of a derelict space, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www. techinsider.io\/perkins-eastman-unveils-green-high-line-proposal-2015-12\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">has put forward a proposal that transforms Broadway Avenue<\/a> into a large 40-block park running through Manhattan. <\/h3>\n<h3>In addition to giving pedestrians and cyclists space back from the &#8220;unfair advantage&#8221; cars have, a line of trees, grass, and playgrounds would meander through the city. The new park&#8217;s landscaping would include biofilters &#8211; plantings designed to reduce flood risk and remove contaminants from water that is discharged into the Hudson and East River. The project is ambitious, as Broadway is a central avenue, but since interventions have already been carried out in the area for pedestrians and cyclists, such as the pedestrianization of Times Square, car traffic is less.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Big Apple has carried out outstanding projects to become a city friendlier for urban pedestrians and cyclists, and ecologically more sustainable.
