We just found out some interesting statistics about NYC:
- 12,750 miles of sidewalk,
- 1,153 NYC sidewalk cafes,
- 150 miles of sidewalks taken up by construction sites,
- 8.3 million residents,
- 50.2 million tourists annually,
- 10% increase in NYC pedestrian traffic at major intersections since 2007,
- 5,100 food cart permits,
- 6,892 permits for ‘sidewalk sheds’ — for newsstands, shoe shines, etc.,
- 12,720 sidewalk pay phones,
Thanks to Crains New York Business for these statistics.
