DOT's Lincoln Square 65th Street Bow-Tie Changes Are Underway
|
The New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) has begun making changes to the 65th Street Lincoln Square Bow-Tie intersection. Markings for new crosswalks, the Columbus Avenue bike lane extension and pedestrian safety extensions are going in and construction is underway. To accommodate all of the work, the BID recently relocated many of our planters, which we expect to put back once the work is completed. Thank you to Glenwood for permitting us to put our planters on the Grand Tier's sidewalk.
As part of the Bow-Tie improvements, DOT's plan calls for new parking and loading regulations and bus stop relocations along Columbus Avenue that will be put into effect. Some regulations have already been put into effect. The new regulations are listed below:
East side of Columbus Avenue:
- From 65th - 66th Street
-
No standing anytime to allow for dedicated left turn lane (installed 8/3)
- From 63rd - 64th Street
- Metered parking 7:30am-4:00pm
- No standing 4:00pm-10:00pm
- From 62nd - 63rd Street
- Unpaid loading 7:00am-7:00pm
- One hour metered parking 7:00pm-10:00pm
- From 60th - 61st Street
- DOT is reviewing the request for loading regulations
East side of Broadway:
- No northbound right turn onto 65th Street (installed 8/4)
- Dedicated northbound right turn lane onto 64th Street from Broadway (installed 8/4)
West side of Columbus Avenue:
- From 65th - 67th Street (scheduled for 8/5)
- The M11 bus stop will be moved to the top end of the block while the M20 will drop-off passengers on 66th Street at a newly extended M66/M20 stop
- The M7 bus stop will be moved one block north
-
No parking anytime at the bottom end of the block, except for farmers market vehicles
- From 62nd - 64th Street (scheduled for 8/5)
- Access-A-Ride stop will shift 105' south, better aligned with the Lincoln Center pedestrian ramp in order to ease access for those in wheelchairs

Folk Art and American Modernism
|
|
| | Mary Ann Wilson | Maremaid |
Folk Art and American Modernism is on display now at the American Folk Art Museum. The exhibit highlights folk art owned, collected, and exhibited by early art-world luminaries, artists, and others whose own work is shown alongside the folk art that inspired them. In the early twentieth century, a group of young American modernists began to equate aspects of early folk art with the new modernist art they had studied in Europe. Folk Art and American Modernism traces the journey of art pieces including weathervanes, portraits, decoys, hooked rugs, theorem paintings, and more from their humble beginnings to their eventual display at museums.
Folk Art and American Modernism will be on display through Sunday, September 27. For additional information about this exhibit and more visit folkartmuseum.org. The American Folk Art Museum is located at 2 Lincoln Square (Columbus Avenue at 66th Street).
