Allen/Pike St. Medians
Drawing on the successful model and installation of the "Avenue of the Immigrants" installation, HSC is currently involved in the re-design of the Allen and Pike Street Malls in Lower Manhattan to ensure that their design responds to the needs and aspirations of local residents. HSC is part of the UNRAP coalition (United Neighbors for the Revitalization of Allen and Pike). Other members are the Lower East Side Tenement Museum, Lower East Side BID, Asian Americans for Equality, Community Board 3, Councilmember Alan J. Gerson, and the Two Bridges Neighborhood Council. HSC acts as the facilitator of a community visioning/design charrette process which will include site analysis, surveys, usage studies, and community design activities in order to build consensus and generate design recommendations for the Parks Department.
