Reply to comment by Smooth-Ant-8519 in NYC’s Delancey Street to get ‘road diet’ thanks to $21M from feds by Miser

Yeah, road diets would do so much for the LES. Everything south of 14th st feels like it's under continual siege by cars. Houston and Canal especially feel like war zones

It’s super weird because you have some of the nicest streets there where cars go slow and are generally unwelcome, but simultaneously have streets that give you that feeling of being under siege from cars, more than most parts of Manhattan. The dichotomy is strongest in that area I feel.

I think there are actually some strengths to that design. Clear separation of streets with activities vs car arterials. I think the ratio is too unbalanced around there though, it's boxed in by 3 mini-highways
