Columbus Avenue Issues

− Lack of continuity in the bicycle network− Resulting in lower bicycle volumes on existing Columbus Avenue bike path
− Long pedestrian crossings− 60 foot wide roadway
− Desire for beautification of commercial corridor− Street trees and plantings
− Corridor with variable traffic conditions− Motor vehicle congestion approaching Broadway intersection− Water main construction near Lincoln Center
