The Tourist Lane
More info: http://improveverywhere.com/2010/06/08/the-tourist-lane/
For our latest mission, we created separate walking lanes for tourists and New Yorkers on a Fifth Avenue sidewalk. Department of Transportation “employees” were on hand to enforce the new rules and ask pedestrians for their feedback on the initiative.

Others include the Frozen Grand Central, the Food Court Musical, and the famous No Pants Subway Ride, to name a few.

At first I just enjoyed the humor but after thinking about it, it’s not a bad idea at all. Especially good in heavy NYC tourist areas. Darn tourists walk so slowly, suddenly stop and take a photo, etc. Collisions do occur….hmmm…maybe it would work!
