Working closely with theTimes Square Alliance and others, the city in 2010 hired the world–renowned Snohetta Architects to create the permanent design forthe expanded Times Square.East 17th Street and BroadwayDOT completed the transformation of Broadway’s diagonal routethrough Midtown in 2010 by extending reduction of traffic lanesfrom Madison Square to 17th Street and building out additionalpublic and pedestrian space on the north side of Union Square. TheBroadway/17th Street intersection was simplified, and crossingdistances for pedestrians shortened and made more visible.Broadway’s protected bikeway was extended south around theSquare to 14th Street. The Union Square Partnership took on publicspace maintenance and worked extensively with DOT on the plan.The project saw results similar to other Broadway segments—overall traffic speeds improved, but illegal speeding fell by 14%.Crashes causing injury fell by 24%. 74% of people surveyed in thearea in 2011 said they preferred the new configuration.
