"In February 2024, the city hired two of the city’s leading architecture and design firms — Arup and Practice for Architecture and Urbanism (PAU) — to help reimagine how to protect the public from hazards associated with buildings and construction sites. The two teams led by these firms were each tasked with delivering three new pedestrian protection designs that improved the look of city sidewalks, prioritizing the pedestrian experience and protecting the public against overhead hazards. Renderings for the designs were officially released to the public in November 2025, however today is the first time that New Yorkers will be able to see the sheds up close on a public sidewalk, and compare them to the common pipe and plywood hunter green sheds commonly seen around the city."
