West Village pilot opens street space for students
Original: West Village pilot program opens street space for students during school hours
A pilot program in Manhattan's West Village is closing street space to cars during school hours and opening it up for students. The move is part of ongoing efforts to reclaim urban street space for pedestrians and schoolchildren, and it is drawing attention as a test of how public streets might be redesigned around schools.
Why now: It signals a new local experiment in reallocating street space from traffic to children, a topic of active urban policy debate.
