NYC Department of Transportation Visioning for 14th Street
The City is embarking on a visioning process to propose permanent transit, streetscape enhancements, and public space improvements along Manhattan’s 14th Street, from the Hudson River to the East River. The NYC Department of Transportation is leading this effort in collaboration with the Meatpacking District Management Association (MDMA) and the Union Square Partnership (USP).
This process seeks to enhance the public realm by linking the corridors’ popular destinations, including parks, transit hubs, and institutions. This builds upon the past decade’s successful transit, bicycle network, and public realm improvements along this corridor.
The final vision plan will propose improvements that bolster the vitality of 14th Streets’ landmark neighborhoods, improving the quality of life and economic growth for decades to come.
They Want to Hear From You
The NYC Department of Transportation welcomes you to join their first public workshop about the 14th Street Plan. To request accessibility accommodations, please contact them at cchattergoon@dot.nyc.gov or 212-839-6210 by Friday, March 20.
Wednesday, March 25 from 4pm to 7pm
Pratt Institute, 144 West 14th Street, 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10011
Survey
To kick off this multi-year effort the NYC Department of Transportation wants to hear about your experiences along 14th Street so they better understand how the corridor is used. Please complete their survey by April 10, 2026. You can find the survey here.
F/M Train Swap
The MTA will swap F and M train service between Manhattan and Queens, eliminating a merge at Queens Plaza that has caused delays to Queens Boulevard riders. This swap will improve service on the E, F, M, and R lines by providing consistent running times and better on-time performance for the 1.2 million riders who use these lines every day.
The F/M route swap will go into effect on December 8, 2025. You can learn more about the change at mta.info/fmswap
Inspire Your Community Through Public Art

Artwork may be on display for up to 11 months. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Apply now!
A New Way to Be Informed on Land Use Applications in Our District!

If you’re interested in changes happening in your neighborhood, these Email Notifications will make it easy to stay informed without having to search for updates manually.
When on the Email Notifications page on the Zoning Application Portal:

You’ll get notified when every project in your selected district(s) goes through key land use application steps, including when there’s a new filing or when a project goes into public review.
Your email will only be used for these notifications and won’t be shared with others, and every email update on your chosen district(s) will include a link to unsubscribe or update your preferences.
