The manual should be used by agency staff, design professionals, community groups, and other entities involved in the planning and design of streets in New York City. The policies and guidelines in the Street Design Manual should be the foundation of designs for all projects that significantly impact public and private streets in New York City.
The Manual is the product of an inter-agency Task Force headed by the Department of Transportation and joined by the Departments of Design and Construction (DDC), City Planning (DCP), Environmental Protection (DEP), Parks and Recreation (DPR), Buildings (DOB), the Economic Development Corporation (EDC), the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC), the Design Commission (DC) and the Mayor's Office.
