Eyes on the Street: Get Ready for the New Gansevoort
The view of Gansevoort Plaza looking west. The area to the right of the construction barrels will be set aside for pedestrian use.
Looks like the Meatpacking District is about to receive its livable streets makeover.
The Open Planning Project's Lily Bernheimer snapped these shots of Gansevoort Plaza earlier today. The orange barrels and dashed lines appear to demarcate what will soon be new pedestrian areas and rows of planters. These improvements emerged from the efforts of the Greater Gansevoort Urban Improvement Project, an initiative begun in 2005. More tantalizing pics after the jump.
It appears from the view looking north that this stretch of Ninth Avenue is about to go on a serious road diet.
