As to 4th and 6th being one way: this is a well-documented way to make streets less safe and less community-friendly, according to urban planning books such as Suburban Nation. It makes the cars go faster, and makes it more dangerous for walkers. Why would the city do this? There is no excuse. New York's lack of pedestrian friendly areas is already shocking and ridiculous compared to European and many Latin American cities. 4th ave idea sounds great- I have a car in the Slope, and I don’t mind going a slower when I need to use it to have it look better and be more pedestrian friendly as I cross it every day leaving the subway.
