COMMUNITY ROADMAP
Around the world, cities are rethinking streets—often the most abundant piece of the public realm—as vibrant, thriving parks and open spaces. Jackson Heights now has the opportunity to turn 26 city blocks into a linear park that runs through a park-starved, working-class community in the heart of America’s most diverse neighborhood. In partnership with WXY Studio, Alliance for Paseo Park has produced a report to communicate the community’s priorities for the future of the open street and make recommendations that will help unlock the potential of our city’s next great public space.
Throughout this process, Alliance for Paseo Park has been committed to a robust, community-led engagement that is multilingual, culturally competent, and inclusive of in-depth conversations with different segments of our community, including those who may not share our vision. We believe that through this exchange, we can create a public space that will benefit our community for generations to come.
