Meatpacking District Getting New “Meet” Place

“Gansevoort Plaza” was recently dedicated in New York City. It’s being built at the intersection of six Manhattan streets along Little West 12th Street. It currently includes planters, art, bike parking and seating. More improvements are planned and on the way. A nice idea and a welcome addition to the neighborhood. But, it’s hoped that every possible safety measure will be taken to protect pedestrians and public park lovers. Six lanes of traffic can be somewhat intimidating; and dangerous. Nobody wants to wind up as dead meat just for feeding pigeons.
