As part of the 2004 Holiday Traffic Plan, the Department of Transportation and the Department of Parks and Recreation implemented an ambitious program to improve the overall usability of the Central Park Drives. It was intended to facilitate efficient and safe movement of motorists and pedestrians. The Department of Transportation closely monitored the impacts of this initiative to determine the impacts.
The Department has accelerated its efforts to improve pedestrian and traffic safety at locations that have repeatedly been the site of traffic or pedestrian-related accidents. These efforts have sharply reduced the number of traffic-related accidents and fatalities, which are now at historic lows.
