Who we are: The coalition was founded by residents and community leaders to reclaim 9th Avenue from the hellish Lincoln Tunnel traffic . The coalition is growing rapidly with Businesses, Institutions and   Property Owners joining in to correct the dangerous conditions in the neighborhood : pedestrians risk their lives crossing the  streets, children cannot safely walk to schools; residents cannot breathe or sleep; public transportation is ineffective; local stores experience slow and costly deliveries; personal safety is at risk .Learn More. Join the coaliton

What we do : The coalition works directly with Community Board 4, City agencies, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and elected officials to obtain crucial traffic relief and pedestrian safety measures. Some examples of our successes are the assignment of traffic agents at peak hours to prevent gridlock on    Ninth Avenue at 37th, 38th, 41st, 42nd and 43rd Streets; the re-opening of 39th and 41st Streets to traffic; the removal of postal trucks   from Ninth Avenue, and new parking rules in the Clinton Special Districts to effect Traffic Calming. We also  support city wide measures that will help improve the situation in the neighborhood.Learn More .
