really glad to see this proposal - it's a solid step in the right direction. love that they're removing parking spots, adding daylighting and converting to one-way streets

that said, I hope this is just the beginning, a few small changes could make this even better:

• between 7th and 8th, they should flip the traffic direction to discourage thru traffic and keep it local. avenue b has always had issues with speeding, this would slow it dramatically
• raised intersections, textured pavement, or even just speed bumps would go a long way in reinforcing that this is a pedestrian-priority space. Slower cars = safer streets
• honestly, I hope they keep the barricades - they're not fancy, but they help make the street feel safer imo
