Description

The Times Square project is a permanent pedestrian precinct with a goal of making it a destination for visitors, comfortable for daily workers, convenient for theater-goers and an asset to retails. The landscape will create a surface that marks the historic alignment of Broadway, blurs the traditional sidewalk/road boundaries and affords the maximum flexibility of uses.

For the Times Square Alliance Snohetta developed a streetscape design that integrates the unique pedestrian experience in Times Square with a high volume of traffic, allowing the space to adapt to peak vehicle and peak pedestrian operation.

Aerial View of Times Square Streetscapes - The existing street geometry, traffic patterns, and pedestrian volumes were studied to identify critical areas where additional pedestrian space was needed.

Additionally, low-tech strategies and technologies were developed to create quality public space and experience that is seamlessly integrated with complex, heavily-trafficed infrastructure
