Broadway is the oldest street in the city. Way before this grid

Grid pattern is terrible for livability, but great at selling land (and navigation). They obviously didn’t care about the former, and only the latter.

I read somewhere the wider streets where to accomdate military vehicles if it ever came to that. Not sure if there’s any validity to it though.

This is one of my fave stories. They literally slacked off all summer and handed in this plan at the last second

The wider streets were to be dragstrips where you could race your horse and buggy without being hassled by the constables.

Madison was added as a service road for the mansions on fifth avenue and park avenue. It’s documented.

Biggest motive for the grid: easy-to-sell parcels. Part of what makes NYC so walkable and interesting is that the buildings change every 25’ or so.

This just made me realize how absolutely exhausting it must have been to create a map without aerial photography or a helicopter lol

The wider streets are for two way traffic, not just one way
