 Gridlock traffic and crowds of pedestrians move in fast motion. Introducing Loop NYC. The block letters of the word loop nest together to form a logo. Roads approaching Manhattan are highlighted. New York City is unlike anywhere else in the world, which means it has challenges that are uniquely complex. Our proposal intends to convert existing cross streets and highways into driverless expressways, resulting in a safe, sustainable and efficient traffic grid. Loop NYC optimizes traffic flow in and out of the city, which makes it easier and cheaper for commuters to access Manhattan. The FDR and West Side Highways will have one lane in each direction, designated for automated vehicles that connects to cross-town streets. Major Manhattan streets will become expressways, streets like 14th, 23rd, 34th, 42nd, 57th, 86th, and 110th will exclusively host driverless vehicles and allow for expedited transportation, effortlessly integrating public and private vehicles. Being equipped with state-of-the-art navigation, these driverless cars can circulate using any combination of expressways and loops, making transportation more efficient inside and outside the city. Pedestrian overpasses and underpasses will be installed to physically separate pedestrians from driverless vehicles, allowing pedestrians to safely navigate the city which reduces accidents involving cars and pedestrians and brings us one step closer to Vision Zero. We calculated the efficiency of Loop NYC to go from Grand Central to Lower Manhattan and back, a route that would traditionally take 40 minutes, now would only take 11 minutes. An average New Yorker would save 30 minutes a day on their commute and over a lifetime would get back more than a year. With Loop NYC, we can reclaim streets for pedestrian use, allowing us to expand congested hubs and transform them into beautiful public spaces. These parks will stretch the length of Manhattan, creating more open space and drawing fresh air into New York City's densest plazas. The 13-mile-long pedestrian park will grow from Battery Park in Lower Manhattan, connecting to Union Square, then continuing north on Broadway and Park Avenue. A street is reimagined. Streets are enveloped by parks, both in photographs and on a map. Broadway will also be transformed into a linear park, allowing pedestrians to commute easily with bike paths and pedestrian bridges that mimic natural rolling hills.
