It's Time To Put 
Eighth Avenue First

Eighth Avenue between Penn Station and Port Authority is where New York City begins for 1.1 million people every day and 3.5 million tourists each year. 

Given its transit-rich location, proximity to business, and potential for housing, Eighth Avenue should be a world class corridor where people want to live, work, and visit.

 

Eighth Avenue needs a comprehensive master plan.

 

With $17 Billion in infrastructure investments pouring into the two transit hubs, there has never been a more critical time for New York City to invest in Eighth Avenue’s future.

  • Capitalize on adjacent multi-billion dollar transit projects
  • Create a fitting entrance to New York to support business and tourism
  • Encourage much-needed housing development in proximity to jobs and transit
  • Improve safety in the center of midtown
