This is not just a nickname for a bunch of crosswalks. Here is my thought:
So, I don't think we should call it a nickname of something, but it should be an actual named thoroughfare, and the officials called it an avenue. Z22 ( talk) 18:51, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
If there's an official city name for the pedestrian corridor, than that's what the name of the article should be. Beyond My Ken ( talk) 23:23, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
I've had a second thought about this. Take a look at this edit I made to 52nd Street (Manhattan). If you agree, I think that perhaps it might be used for the other streets as well. Whaddya think? Beyond My Ken ( talk) 06:31, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
The "The Friends of Privately Owned Public Spaces" was erroneously pipe wikilinked to the wiki list of POPS in NYC, see comments, which I corrected. The The Friends of Privately Owned Public Spaces does not have (nor necessarily need) a Wikipedia article. We do need a citation corroborating whether they were the impetus for creating the pedestrian arcade, which I noted in the article.
Next, I removed the chronologically inaccurate sentence,
"The group also organized an event in October 2011 to boost awareness of the shortcut while the study was on going.<ref>[http://www.timeout.com/newyork/things-to-do/holly-whyte-way-arcade-parade "Holly Whyte Way Arcade Parade"], ''[[Time Out (magazine)|Time Out New York]]''. Accessed: July 30, 2012</ref>"
In fact, this was not done to boost awareness, prior to the construction, but was a (seemingly minor) event after the fact, per the actual text:

The article currently says,
The idea was presented to the board and the board in turn sent a formal request to New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) in May 2011.
What board? Also, citation needed, once clarified, please!-- FeralOink ( talk) 15:57, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Source is dated 2012, nearly a decade ago. Perhaps drivers are used to the stop signs by now? Delete section? Martindo ( talk) 02:23, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
