Congratulations to NYC Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani and his team & volunteers. And now it’s time put NYC on a fast track to making our streets more safe & fair to all modes. I’ve chosen 5 Streetfilms from our vast library that might be most helpful to his administration to guide change.

A few months ago, the Meatpacking District in NYC decided that a loud 60 foot roadway on West 14th Street was too much and thwarted opportunities to get more folks to linger and shop as they passed thru. So they converted it into a green, relaxing promenade and took back 36 feet of roadway filling it with plenty of places for people to pause.

Wherever you go in the world you can’t go wrong with making crowded business streets safer and more friendly to pedestrians. Here are five Streetfilms showing the different ways you can achieve that whether 24-7-365, seasonal installations, time limitations or just making designing for local traffic only!
