In addition to turning the Promenade into a highway, this plan does nothing to reduce air pollution, traffic or noise long term.  In fact, the city is proposing spending billions of dollars to simply rebuild this terrible highway exactly as it exists today.  Instead, we demand A Better Way.  This is an opportunity to build something better for New York City.  We need innovative thinking that tackles the problems created by this highway and we need to apply it to the entire corridor impacted.  

New Yorkers deserve clean air, safe streets and a reduction in noise and vibrations.
