West 125 Viaduct Lights
At our last Merchants' Meeting, we were joined by representatives from EDC to discuss the streetscape project on West 125th Street. One of the aspects of the project will be gorgeous lighting installed under the 12th Avenue Viaduct, slated to be completed in 2016.
Besides looking beautiful, bringing even more charm to the area, and accentuating the elegant viaduct, the lights will also turn blue when a train approaches the 1 station.
"The improvements are intended to create connections between the various forms of transportation — subway, bus, bikes, and pedestrian — while promoting a vibrant street life on W. 125th St." For more information on the viaduct lights, read the full article at the NY Daily News
