WESTMINSTER HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN<br />

The sections <strong>of</strong> 5th Avenue South between 53rd &<br />

54th <strong>St</strong>reets and between 49th & 52nd <strong>St</strong>reets have two<br />

way travel lanes and additional parking lanes on both<br />

sides <strong>of</strong> street. The majority <strong>of</strong> the streets in<br />

<strong>Westminster</strong> <strong>Heights</strong> neighborhood are 20 feet.<br />

However, an estimated 1,374 vehicles per day travel<br />

5th Avenue South, which is 40 feet <strong>of</strong> brick paving.<br />

Fifth (5th) Avenue South is unusually wide and is not<br />

pedestrian-friendly. This plan recommends narrowing<br />

<strong>of</strong> this thoroughfare to an urban boulevard by<br />

landscaped medians (see Traffic <strong>Plan</strong> Map) and onstreet<br />

parking. When considering narrowing options,<br />

potential impacts on traffic movement must be<br />

assessed.<br />
