Streetsblog report - There is no war on cars While the DOT under Janette Sadik-Khan has made incredibly important steps to improve safety and mobility for New Yorkers, the truth is that the overwhelming majority of New York City’s streets remain about the same. We did some back-of-the-envelope math to estimate just how much street space has been reallocated from drivers to pedestrians, cyclists and transit riders in recent years. The answer: not a whole lot. In fact, we estimate that less than one half of one percent of NYC’s street space has changed in the past three and a half years. Picture: Streetsblog
