In 2009, the plan to pedestrianize Broadway drew opposition from nearly everyone in New York City. Today reverting the street back would be a non starter. (cdn.imgchest.com)

Agree, maybe green island w trees where the lanes currently are. (Center of street) And then bike lanes between the island and the sidewalks.

    I agree with the Dutch guy. The trees should be offset to one side, so the the trees don't obstruct the view as pedestrians and cyclists cross each other in the middle.

    Also, this bicycle lane probably doubles as access for fire trucks and ambulances.

    My experience as a Dutchie (making me an expert on anything bike-related of course), for the bikers it is really nice if the bike lanes are in the middle because people don't tend to notice they step into 'traffic' if there is a non-traffic island in the middle.
