Fulton Shared Street
Shared streets are “pedestrian-priority” streets designed to discourage high volumes of vehicle traffic and encourage an increase of pedestrian activity. Fulton Street is split into two sections: one side acts as a shared space for bicycles and limited vehicle access and the other is a pedestrian-priority space dedicated to art and activities.
