Streetsblog has more on the preliminary plans here... which are much-needed and long overdue. After all, the city has only been talking about implementing changes here since 2011.
In July, a 22-year-old driver was charged with two counts of second-degree murder in a horrific early morning collision while exiting the Manhattan Bridge at the Bowery and Canal at more than 100 MPH, per the DA's office. There was another collision with two injuries 24 hours later in nearly the same spot.
Per Streetsblog:
In both crashes, motorists came off the highway-like Manhattan Bridge at the Bowery, but the violence only underscores that the entire crosstown corridor remains one of the most dangerous streets in the borough, and the city has not made significant changes in a decade.
