The last time I took the NRQ at night the train stopped for an hour due to signal failure. I don't take the subway at night, and never have (especially in the summer when it's too damn hot down there, period).
Times Square is, self-evidently, quite successful as it is. There's no need to seriously inconvenience Manhattanites by making it even more of a tourist playground.
Also, New Yorkers seem able to cross the streets just fine with traffic. The congestion in Times Square is because of thousands of tourists milling around taking pictures, getting lost and generally being in the way. No amount of pedestrianization will fix that.
