The Union Square Partnership has unveiled a new Vision Plan for the Union Square-14th Street District that will result in a 33 percent increase in public space.
“We are proud to unveil a Vision Plan that places the needs of the Union Square-14th Street community at the forefront by promoting openness, equity, safety, and accessibility. The ultimate goal here is for parkgoers to know they have arrived at a place that is special,” said Jennifer Falk, Executive Director of Union Square Partnership.
JENNIFER FALK “Initiated as a response to the proposed L train shutdown, this Vision Plan evolved as COVID-19 upended our world, and with it, our relationship with public space. More open space, safer pedestrian and cyclist travel, better transit, and more outdoor seating and greenery all of these changes are called for in this plan and will benefit our community immeasurably as we chart the district’s next chapter.”
