Doing construction work in New York City’s streets is complicated and costly. This report examines obstacles and offers solutions for delivering a more modern, multidimensional right-of-way.
As we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, changing travel patterns will place demands on all of our region’s transportation systems. RPA is tackling the challenges of aging and deteriorating systems, lack of sufficient funding, outdated and inefficient delivery methods, and obsolete street designs that prioritize private vehicles over more community needs.

Streets can be a revolutionary resource for our region if we continue to explore these spaces instead of prioritizing them as routes for cars alone.”
