Mayor Bloomberg’s blacktop beach fronts in the middle of Times Square have rendered untenable the traditional route for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

But now comes some good news: Starting next year, officials now say, the iconic parade will be moved from Seventh Avenue to Sixth.

Which makes much more sense.

Think about it: A massive-crowd-drawing event like the annual Macy’s parade, with its huge Bart Simpson and SpongeBob balloons, flamboyant floats and superstar celebs, has got to be the last thing needed at a place like Times Square — a hopping tourist destination in its own right, 365 days of the year.

By contrast, Sixth Avenue — with its own key attractions, such as Rockefeller Center, top restaurants, Bryant Park and other sites — is ideally suited to serve as a parade route.

Plus, the annual march traditionally ends at Macy’s at Herald Square — 34th Street and (yup) Sixth Avenue.

Now it will have a direct path there, straight down from Central Park. Organizers say that will streamline the parade, making it safer and more practical.

Two years ago, after Team Bloomberg banned vehicles from the Crossroads of the World, the parade route shifted, using Seventh Avenue instead of Broadway, turning left on 42nd and heading south on Sixth for the remaining blocks.

Those widely hated pedestrian plazas, it turns out, not only precluded vehicles, they also complicated parade paths.

Bad news for Times Square.

But good news for Sixth Avenue.

Particularly come Turkey Day.
