WSJ: Surface Improvements at Times Square and Herald Square.
“With businesses, urban planners and the mayor’s office solidly behind the idea that proponents said would not only speed traffic but also seduce more tourists, cheer up lunchtime office workers and attract more customers to local stores, why isn’t the DOT taking more assertive steps in making the plazas attractive? Epoxy gravel is hardly the stuff of inspiring design.” Similar problem here in Santa Fe. We can’t even agree on grass in the Plaza here, when other Western towns are putting planters overflowing with flowers on corners and even in the middle of main streets. Hanging baskets of flowers under overhangs. On my trip up to Grand Teton NP in ‘05, I was surprised by how much effort other towns put into aesthetics, compared to our own.
