Park Avenue Malls Planting
Park Avenue Malls Planting is a historical initiative that traces its roots back to the 1935 proposal for the Park Avenue Express Highway, an ambitious project aimed at alleviating traffic congestion in Manhattan and the Bronx. The proposed elevated expressway, which was to stretch from Grand Central Terminal to the Harlem River, faced significant opposition from local leaders concerned about its potential impact on real estate and neighborhood cohesion.
Despite the challenges, the project highlighted the ongoing discussions about urban infrastructure and transportation in New York City, influencing future highway developments. The controversial proposals, including the Grand Park Avenue Expressway, ultimately shaped the debate surrounding Manhattan's highway system, reflecting the complexities of urban planning in a densely populated area.
