Based on the results of the Citywide Mobility Survey, NYC DOT developed a holistic, data-driven framework to categorize streets based on pedestrian needs. The plan aims to improve pedestrian comfort and convenience as well as increase walking citywide. NYC DOT created five broad street categories to determine the pedestrian needs on the city’s sidewalks.
