The Times Square crash rampage that resulted in the killing of a teenage tourist and injuring 22 others this month is spurring calls to further restrict cars from the so-called Crossroads of the World.
Broadway became a pedestrian-only zone at Times Square eight years ago.
Now, some city officials and traffic experts say the car ban should be expanded to include the north-south artery of Seventh Avenue.
Richard Rojas, who was indicted by a grand jury last week, told police after his arrest that he had been smoking marijuana laced with the hallucinogenic drug PCP, according to a criminal complaint. He said he wanted to "kill them all" and police should have shot him to stop him, prosecutors said.
Rojas is charged murder and attempted murder and is being held pending his July 13 arraignment. An attorney for Rojas did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
He also had two previous drunken driving cases.
