Community Input Meeting

New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) has undertaken a transportation study of Clinton Hell's Kitchen (from 29th to 55th Streets, Eight to 12th Avenues) with the participation of CHEKPEDS (Clinton Hell’s Kitchen Coalition for Pedestrian safety).The goals of the study are to improve pedestrian safety and quality of life for the residents while reducing traffic congestion and maintaining balanced access for all users of the streets.

NYC DOT, Community Board 4 and CHEKPED invite you  to share your ideas with the project engineers and planners. Your input will be most valuable to the DOT as they develop short and long-term solutions.

Wednesday April 30th, 2008 - 6:00 p.m.

at Holy Cross School, 332 West 43rd Street (b/w 8th and 9th avenue).

Space is limited . Please CLICK HERE to confirm your attendance . 

 

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    9th Avenue at 37th 38th, 42nd and 43rd; the re-opening of 39th Street to traffic; the removal of postal trucks   from 9th 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 .
