The committee members set up tables near Washington Square Park and asked visitors to sign a petition to stop the highway construction. Some children even joined the committee meeting with their parents and put up protest posters that read, “Save the Square!”
Professional city planners believed that modern highway systems and high-rises were the keys to building a lively city. Jane, however, thought differently. From her observation, a city works best when there is rich interaction among its residents. It was the people that made a city lively, not the cars. Jane’s original views captured the hearts of many, including former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, eventually winning her support. In November 1958, after six years of protest, Jane and the other campaign members won against Moses: New York City had closed Washington Square Park to traffic.
Jane passed away in 2006, but her powerful message to “get out and walk” lives on to inspire people to act in their unique way.
