I always feel sad for Market Street when I ride down it in the am on my bike, and back up again in the pm. I admit I rarely stop to smell the roses or even do any shopping - few places to lock my bike and an intense desire to simply get off Market and to the Duboce bikeway are the contributing factors. When I run into other cyclists I know and can chat while riding it gives me a taste of what Market Street could be. I am all for a Car Lite Market Street. Great article Chris.

herald square is another great public space added recently to some underutilized triangular islands in manhattan
