We need your help! The significant pedestrian safety improvements in Gansevoort Plaza -- won by the community, for the community, after YEARS of hard work by local leaders -- are now threatened. Gansevoort Plaza is the heart of the Meatpacking District, and is one of the great community-based planning success stories in NYC. But in recent months, the challenges of establishing a new public space have caused some businesses to question the very existence of Gansevoort Plaza.

On January 13th at 6:30pm, we need you to tell the Department of Transportation that you want public space and pedestrian safety. Please attend and speak out at a public forum on Gansevoort Plaza at Housing Works. This is your opportunity to help make this plaza permanent and share your ideas for further aesthetic or functional improvements.
