Columbus Circle

File:ColumbusCirclefromTimeWarnerCenterNYC20050807.jpg

Columbus Circle located at the intersection of Eight Avenue, Broadway, West 59th Street, and Central Park West is a significant landmark within the borough of Manhattan. It brings together the neighborhoods known as the Theatre District, Upper West Side, and Hell's Kitchen. The statue of Columbus was erected in 1897, but the circle itself was not completed until 1905, and was renovated, a century later, into what it is now.

This photo is taken from one end of the activity zone over-looking the rest of the activity. The activity zone is significant in assessing the reasoning behind access points of the subway.

The image above of Columbus Circle is taken from the Lincoln Square showing one of the major corridors - a major vehicular and pedestrian view both into and out of the circle.
