The New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYC EDC) and Department of Transportation (NYC DOT), in partnership with the Hudson Square Connection Business Improvement District (BID), is investing in the Hudson Street streetscape in between Canal Street and West Houston Street at the heart of Hudson Square.

W’s design for this streetscape improves pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular safety; and transforms the corridor into a boulevard that extends sidewalks up to five feet and adds new street amenities along seven blocks. The improvement plan also includes over 8,040 square feet of extensive planting areas, continuous tree pits and permeable paving to improve stormwater collection, with integrated seating for 168 people, space for future sidewalk cafes, reconfigured sidewalks and pedestrian ramps, a protected bike lane, and new bike racks.
