East 37th Street to be Closed from the FDR Service Road to 1st Avenue
Due to urgent work relating to the replacement of a transformer at the Con Edison Substation on 36th Street, 37th Street between the FDR Service Road and 1st Avenue will be closed to vehicular traffic effective July 9, 2021. It may also be closed to pedestrian and bike traffic at some stage in the future. Con Edison is trying to expedite the work, but this street shutdown could last until at least July 30th and possibly until August 7th. We will continue to provide updates regarding this project as more becomes available.
CB6 Working towards Roomier Sidewalks on 3rd Ave
The CB6 Transportation Committee announced a project to reimagine a congested segment of 3rd Avenue (from 26th Street to 32nd Street) to increase the amount of sidewalk space available to pedestrians and outdoor dining alike. That way, there isn’t so much competition for tight space. CB6 commissioned Sam Schwartz Engineering to draft a concept plan for widening the sidewalks on this portion of 3rd Avenue, using a CB6 resolution as a guide. You can find Sam Schwartz Engineering’s concepts for the area here. If you live in and around the area, we’d love to hear your feedback on the project! Simply email us your thoughts at info@cbsix.org.
