Cars are officially banned on 14th Street. Is this the beginning of banning private cars on Manhattan's busiest thoroughfares? Last week courts finally approved the city's plan to speed up busses on 14th Street by banning cars – the policy went into effect this week. Cars are now banned on 14th Street between Third and Ninth Avenues from 6 AM to 10 PM daily, with the exception of busses, trucks and emergency vehicles. Cars can drop a passenger off, or make a delivery, but can only travel one block, then must make the first right turn. Left lanes are banned at all times. The ban, which has been in the works for two years, was supposed to go into effect over the summer but was stalled due to lawsuits from local residents arguing there was a lack of environmental review for the impact on nearby residential streets. The city hopes the ban will ease congestion and speed up busses during the L train shutdown. After the first-week, riders stated the 14th Street buses – known for moving at a notorious 4.5 miles per hour – were moving much faster, some faster than walking. Is this the solution to solving the NYC's bus problems? Should more Manhattan streets be bus only? #ltrainshutown #ltrain #busway #subway #mtanyc #nyctransit #14thstreet #chelsea #unionsquare #stuytown #eastvillage #lowereastside #soho #midtown #manhattan #nycsubway #transitplanning #urbanpolicy #urbanplanning #mtabus #nycbus #urbanism #nycurbanism (at 14th Street) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3NM5_InGx0/?igshid=a7fu8937vh36

. Location | Stuyvesant Town, New York, USA . Le Corbusier has described New York as a city “utterly devoid of harmony.” He wasn’t impressed by the tall towers, and stated that they were a product of an inferiority complex. He believed the city would do better by building buildings that don't outdo each other, and which were more or less identical. . Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village, also known as Stuy Town, was planned in 1942 as a post-war affordable housing project for war veterans and is an early example of a towers in a park design in New York. The idea of the design was to create a country within a city, and was created by the Robert Moses. The design has moreover resemblance to Le Corbusier's Radiant City; separating pedestrians from cars and commercial spaces. . The town contains 110 cruciform-like buildings with 11,250 apartments. Only 25% of the area is occupied by the 110 buildings, while the rest is open space. . #stuyvesant #stuytown #petercoopervillage #newyork #usa #worldurbanplanning #urbanplanning #cityplanning #architecture #landscapearchitecture #aerialview #aerialphotography #drone #residential #radiantcity #robertmoses #lecorbusier #urbandesign #park #뉴욕 #미국 #도시 #도시계획 #green #city #urbanlandscape (at Stuyvesant Town–Peter Cooper Village)
