The City Planning Commission voted to approve its plan to transform the face of 125th Street Monday, while local Harlem activists vowed to continue fighting against the city’s vision.

In recognition of what it deemed its “exemplary character, quality, and planning,” the American Planning Association honored Harlem’s 125th Street by naming it one of 10 Great Streets in America.
