14th Street is much nicer now that it's only for pedestrians, bikes, buses and local traffic. And for the past few weeks the city has been taking away from cars the west lane on 8th Avenue in midtown (30th to 42nd St, maybe? Basically, from Penn Station to Port Authority, the two local entrances to hell). Something similar is happening near the Javits Center, to give bikes a safer path between the Hudson River and Midtown. Slowly, but it's happening.
