Also, not that it matters, the schedule I posted was the schedule they used in 2012, which was the actual closings. It is not expected closings eight months ahead of time. Though I would guess they will follow the same schedule this year.

It's also not correct that when a cross street is closed to vehicles that it is also closed to pedestrians. Some certainly are, the ones for example in Times Square where they are filling up with people, but again, those are not the ones around Penn Station. Just because 37th is closed to cross traffic does not imply that people can not walk up 37th. Indeed, not only can you walk up the sidewalk, you can errily walk up the middle of the street, which is a pretty cool thing to do. 37th is the south entry point into Times Square with checkpoints at Broadway and one at 7th, not really sure how it could be an entry point if pedestrians can not get to the entry point.

Suggesting



is not only misleading, since you feel the need to characterize what I wrote, but totally incorrect information not at all based on what actually happens.

I don't believe any streets around Penn Station will be closed to pedestrian traffic at all, let along at 4, or certainly have not been closed off in the past.
