Here is an interesting article from nymag about some changes being implemented reshaping traffic and pedestrian patterns around times square, and the city's transportation commissioner championing the cause. Change never comes easy in any city, much less one with as many self important and self righteous constituents as midtown manhattan, but Janette Sadik-Kahn (seen here with JayZ) has been waging guerrila warfare on the city streets, reclaiming empty city space for pedestrians under the guise of streamlining traffic flow.its really interesting how this feature about these specific changes to times square becomes a larger story about gender issues in new york politics, old guard vs progressive ideals, and us vs them populist issues. read it bitches.
