There is a traffic plan for Manhattan’s 14th Street in New York City, easily the borough’s most congested road. The New York City government is coordinating with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to carry out the plan.
And it is a direct assault on America’s much-cherished car culture.
The plan, so far the most radical assault on America’s beloved cars, would ban all cars from the 14th. Only three types of vehicles would be allowed — buses, trucks carrying food and other essentials and emergency vehicles.
