>If you want wondering how to do it, add an elevated express roadway above Canal street. Because it has no connection to city roads in Manhattan - it would go directly in the air to the Manhattan bridge, it would not be unfeasibly complex to build. That was actually a plan back in the late 1950s/early 1960s, along with similar elevated roads above 42nd and 125th streets. Thankfully, NYers stopped that insanity, as it would have destroyed many vibrant neighborhoods in NYC, as it did[0] in the Bronx. We will not destroy our city at the altar of making things more convenient for cars. Insist on driving your car everywhere? Do it somewhere else -- we don't want you here.
