New public plaza, formerly a parking lot (Photo: New York City Department of Transportation)Going through my Spacing Radio podcasts during my commute to school, I heard an interesting and inspiring speech from Janette Sadik-Khan, New York City's Commissioner of Transportation. She was in Toronto earlier this year to speak about the transformation of her City's public space.
She outlines her progressive plan which contributes to the convenience and safety of citizens, while creating a sense of place. The plan aims at making a more people-focused New York - even if it means taking space away from cars.
