Eighth Avenue Request for Proposals

The Garment District Alliance is seeking proposals from qualified Consultants to conduct a corridor study and create a conceptual master plan to identify short-term and long-term actionable design interventions aimed at improving pedestrian and cyclist safety, circulation, and quality of life on Eighth Avenue between Penn Station and Port Authority Bus Terminal. This study is critical to addressing the deficiencies of existing infrastructure, enhancing connectivity between the transit hubs and the neighborhood, supporting businesses, and improving the experience of tourists, workers, residents, and other users who frequent the Avenue.

Answers to questions submitted to eighthavenueplan@garmentdistrictnyc.com will be posted here on August 31st, 2026.
