Activity Four - Zachary

10.


Canal Street is two-way, with two lanes on each side of the double-yellow line. Traffic is regulated by street lights at each block. Most intersections are four way, but a few side-streets merge with Canal with stop signs regulating the flow of traffic on the side-street. There is no bike lane and most bicyclists ride in the right lane.



Christopher Street is a one-way street. Traffic is light. There is a large bike lane on the right side of the street. Traffic is regulated by stop signs except at major intersections (6th Ave, for instance).

8th street between 6th Ave. and Broadway: Shops on both sides of the street face inwards. There are no gaps or alleys between buildings. There are generous sidewalks on both sides of the street and most shops have doors opening onto 8th st. There are few blank walls. The fire escapes and windows of the apartments above all face 8th street. Some shops are set above or below street level and have stairs connecting them to the sidewalk.

Centre Street between Canal and Worth Street: Buildings have no gaps between them. Some face the street and have doors opening onto it, but most offer only blank walls. The Manhattan Criminal Courts building and a non-descript office building across the street make a canyon out of the block between While Street and Leonard Street. The Courts bristle with security cameras. Few pedestrians pass by. At Worth there is a small park surrounded by municipal buildings and offices.
