Times Square Goes Car-free in NYC

[yet2BDiscovered]

lawnchairs didnt seem that common when i went there in april. I think its a great idea

[SrVishi]

i see some people on both sides of the argument wanting busy streets and others wanting lawn chairs. there is a solution. why not make lawn chairs on wheels?

The criminal Zionist gov if can kill their own 3000 innocent citizen just to create a reason for attack on Iraq and Afghanistan by pre-plan to take American into war and terror and destroy it finically can create 100 of faisal shazad. It's not strange to the world people. Is it justice from 10 year everyday by using all types of dirty new technology killing everyday Pakistani and Mus all over the world and making 1000 of people homeless they will not take revenge and they will love to American?

[MrMatryoshka16]

Awfull! Times Square is meant to be busy and noisy, whyt are these guys sitting on "NYC heart"?!

[BigPappa7898]

I like the idea, but get rid of the damn lawn chairs. It makes things look tacky and lazy

[MacsMedia]

yeah they're fugly and don't fit there at all, please get rid of them!! times square now looks like a civil war aftermath -.-

[BigPappa7898]

exactly, when I go to times square I wanna see taxis and a busy atmosphere. Not a bunch of fat asses passed out on lawn chairs. I like making areas of broadway car-free but please not Times Square.

[RandyBrandermill]

I 2nd that. I come to times square because it symbolizes the epitome of a metropolitan. If I want peace and tranquility Ill go to Montana or Beach.

[gtambbdogg]

why are there a bunch of fat people siting on chairs and scratching there butts in the middle of the busiest place in the world?

[sonicwhip]

this is awesome!!!

now i wana go to times square even more when i visit new york no more freaking cars all over the place.

now all they need to do is fix the bronx because that place is a hell hole!

[polskigangster10]

i love how new york is not even new york anymore...

[ladyz0e]

Ridiculous. It looks like a mockery of the city. Its a city not a damned amusement park! People live and work there, things have to get done, people have to be able to get to where they have to go, on time! All this does is make the city look stupid and allow fat annoying tourists to rest their underdeveloped legs.

I will laugh when the homeless start using those chairs as beds. Then we'll see what Bloomberg does!

[Chick6517]

This is what I like to see! Can you upload more of these kinds? =) I'm tired of seeing all the other nonsense stuff on youtube. haha!

[shadowace421]

cool, that way they can put more food carts and small little shops

[jasonlajoie]

Open the street to delivery trucks in the wee hours of the morning and leave it to the pedestrians the rest of the time.

[sidelmann1982]

Excellent! I am amazed how aggressive people react. This is one of the best things that have happened to NYC since the development of Central Park.

That is not New York sounds like a conservative quote from the middle 60ties Europe. The US is so fare behind in terms of infrastructure and public space.

NYC is one of the few places in the US where people dares to think innovative, and not are struck by fear of change.

Get used to it - you are going to love it!

[thermalfreek]

LOL!!! You guys are good!

[HRhuffnstuffe]

I like this. Oh no, people would bitch and moan becasue they don't get what they want the second they ask for it. Not only that, there are hundreds of streets in New York, go around the croud. But I don't think they are truely treating the problem. Cars need alternate fuel sources, and oil companies are too greedy to give up that hold on teh American people.

[Taurus702B]

They should do this every sunday. I mean in Tokyo they do that to the Ginza area every sunday too since the 70's.

[Marina031]

They should do this on the Vegas Strip, too...just like they did for Fremont Street. The traffic is so jammed up there, it's pointless to have cars on it at all.

[missingNYCITY]

I HATE THIS!!!!

it seriously makes me sick to my stomach.

that is not New York.

[FrancescaGianna]

Chuckie Schumer and Bloomberg are idiots! They are running NY into the ground.

[klewis511]

BRING BACK THE CRACK ERA!

/s

[everclear66]

hmmm good time to block off roads during a recession??

[jasonlajoie]

Excellent time. More pedestrians in the square means more customers and it gives an overall improvement to the quality of life during hard times.

[sugarpuddin88]

Holy Crap!

I still won't go over there - Too many tourists & other B&T's

[Beadbud5000]

Good idea for a trial run. It may work but it may not.

[XStreetKingSX]

WTF is going on??

[booyyee]

lol

[miley1994madita]

cool :D
