Building a New Houston Street

I will end this little excursion down East Houston Street with some photos of the construction of what will surely be a far better Houston Street for us all:

Construction on East Houston Street between Avenue A and First Avenue.

As always, East Village artists love to turn large, flat surfaces into a canvas:

Pipes and stuff beside painted trailers.

More pipes, more trailers.

Finally, we arrive at First Avenue:

East Houston Street at First Avenue.

The entire project causes only minor inconvenience, and should be completed in the next two years. We'll have more pedestrian areas, bike lanes, and reduced traffic.

Houston Street could conceivably become one of the coolest streets in the East Village!
