Welcome to the Hudson Street Redesign, a remarkable transformation that has revitalized a seven-block corridor in the heart of Hudson Square. By reallocating space from oversized traffic lanes, the redesign restored balance between pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers transforming the sidewalk into a vibrant social hub. Lush plantings, modern park-like spaces, and wider sidewalks for strolling now enhance the pedestrian experience. The design includes 8,000+ square feet of green infrastructure to improve storm water management and allow trees to thrive; 170 modern benches; 2,000+ square feet of sidewalk cafe space; dedicated and parking-protected bike lanes; and 20 new bike parking spaces. The Hudson Street Redesign, the first design-build infrastructure project in New York City, is a testament to the power of collaboration and vision. The renovations showcase the Hudson Square BID’s continued efforts to create an attractive, safe and inviting experience.
