Weidenhoff shows surrounding mixed-use land uses including Madison Square Park, notes the corridor is part of the Midtown South rezoning (MSMX), and explains the Broadway Vision effort to prioritize pedestrians and cyclists across five BID districts while respecting distinct neighborhoods along the corridor.

The next couple of slides we can run through quickly.

Emily Weidenhoff

First, we see the surrounding land use.

Emily Weidenhoff

Again, a lot of mixed use residential.

Emily Weidenhoff

We have Madison Square Park.

Emily Weidenhoff

The next slide shows the zoning map.

Emily Weidenhoff

This portion of the corridor you'll see is part of the most recent Midtown South rezoning MSMX, which looks to bring more residential in the district.

Emily Weidenhoff

So again, this type.

Emily Weidenhoff

of effort is really important as we look to continue to support a thriving, vibrant diversity of commercial, residential uses in this dense part of Manhattan.

Emily Weidenhoff

The next slide, again, for some context, so much of this work has grown out of the Broadway Vision effort, which really looks to

Emily Weidenhoff

prioritize pedestrians and cyclists along this corridor, where we have five business improvement districts.

Emily Weidenhoff

We are aiming to create a comprehensive, kind of coordinated experience along the corridor while still respecting the five different neighborhoods that Broadway intersects through.
