Midtown Manhattan is bracing for another crowded evening as the New York Knicks face off at Madison Square Garden on Monday night. In an effort to keep fans safe and traffic flowing, city officials have announced that pedestrians will be prohibited from walking in the heart of Midtown during the game. The no-walking zone will likely span from 42nd to 59th Streets and from 5th to 7th Avenues, affecting thousands of commuters and locals who normally traverse the area on foot. The move is part of a broader effort to manage the massive crowds that gather in the area for Knicks games and other high-profile events.
