6 1/2 Avenue

In midtown Manhattan, there is a a series of public pedestrian plazas stretching from West 51st to 57th Streets between Sixth and Seventh Avenues. The 6-block-long "avenue" has been named 6 1/2 Avenue. The project is part of the Department of Transportation's efforts to maximize the use and safety of the multiple public plazas that were created when the buildings were erected. These public plazas have served as shortcuts for pedestrians. Crosswalks connecting the pedestrian plazas are also in place.
